Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 37
For a merchant, Zhang Yi is not interested in finding a sense of presence from others. It's not that he wants to let this guy go, but he has no time to deal with this guy. He kicked his fat face On one side, he walked onto the stone platform.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and call out all the good stuff to the lord!" Old Zhonghu scolded Hu Hansan in a pretentious manner and walked towards the stone platform, but stopped after a few steps.

In front of him was the old woman that Hu Hansan said he would give it to him just now. Her hair was gray and her complexion was sallow, and she was like a straw, as if she would die when a gust of wind blows.But even so, she still tried her best to raise her wrinkled face, hoping that the nobleman in front of her would take another look at her, because beside her was a seven or eight-year-old little head looking at her with fear. Everything in sight.

It stands to reason that Lao Zhong is also a person who has seen the market, and he would not take a second look at such an old woman in normal times, but his heart softened when he thought of the misery of walking in Lingnan back then.

"Get up! Follow me!" Old Zhong's expression was determined.

"En! Thank you! Thank you!" The old woman immediately burst into tears. At her age, there are still people who buy it. She immediately pulled the little granddaughter under her to let her kowtow to the old Zhong.

"Grandpa, do you want to buy us?" The little girl weakly opened her two big eyes and looked at Lao Zhong.

"Buy, buy! Poor thing, what's your name?" Old Zhong asked the little girl with a smile.

"My name is... Xiaoyu!"

"Xiaoyu? Well, good name!" He picked up the little girl, and Lao Zhong ignored the mess on the little girl's body, kissed the little girl on the face and laughed loudly: "From now on, you will be my old lady." Zhong's granddaughter, my old Zhong's own granddaughter!"

The old woman thought she was dreaming, and she no longer had the extravagant hope of living. She only hoped that her granddaughter could be sold to a good family, even as a slave!But now the other party actually wants to buy her, she is a character that even Hu Hansan is afraid of!
Zhang Yi quietly looked at the bright smile of Old Zhong, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart. Perhaps at some point, Old Zhong also regarded himself as his grandson?

Hu Hansan was very knowledgeable, and soon brought over a dozen girls with pretty good looks. These people were the ones he planned to sell at a high price in the future, but now he could only pinch them in order to appease the Lord's anger. I held my nose and endured it.

At this time, Lao Zhong was very satisfied and walked over with the little girl in his arms. It is natural for him to choose servants. He gently put Xiaoyu down and said to Hu Hansan: "The goods are not bad, just wear them over there." The one in the yellow clothes, on the left. Yes, just these eight, and then twenty young and strong, don't say that our Zhang family bullies you, you can tell how much it is!"

"Butler Zhong, my little one. How can I ask for your money? Just treat it as my apology, and I hope my lord will forgive me!" Hu Hansan hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, but he didn't dare to accept the money.

I thought, didn't you see that those masters in the yamen didn't dare to speak out?If I collect the money, you should settle accounts with me!

"Uncle Zhong is right, our Zhang family is also a noble family, and the court's laws must be obeyed, and there are only two people mentioned just now!" Zhang Yi pointed at the old woman and the old woman who was pulling Xiaoyu of Zhong Yixiu said: "One piece, ten pennies, right? Is it enough?"

It's okay if he doesn't ask, but Hu Hansan is desperate to ask this question!Ten pennies is not enough to buy a cow. The maid that Lao Zhong chose just now is a maid who has been trained for a long time. Not to mention anything else, she is not much different from the girls in Yuhua Building just because of her appearance. Such a beauty is still worth ten pennies for eight?It's worth twenty young men!
But who called himself cheap?It’s a good deal because I missed it because of my cheap mouth, not to mention that I lost it to my grandma’s house, but I still have a smile on my face
Hu Hansan forced a smile on his face, and said: "Master, they are all ordinary goods, and you still have a lot of money!"

"Really?" Zhang Yi smiled, and said again: "Then how much money do you have left to buy?"

Hu Hansan almost had a mouthful of old blood
When we got home, there were only two more people. As for the maidservants and servants, Lao Zhong had to go to the Yamen in the afternoon to go through the relevant procedures before bringing them back. What Zhang Yi needed to do here was to wait for these people to come back and go to Jingyang County to take over the land.

I have to say that Lao Zhong was very efficient in his work, and he handled it properly in one afternoon.Fortunately, although the courtyard was not big, there was room for a few people to squeeze into the room, and after they settled hastily, Lao Zhong, the servant, called these people to the small courtyard to listen to the Sir's lecture.

Zhang Yi is still wearing official robes, of course not for the sake of showing off at home, but for these people to recognize who he is, the Patriarch of the Zhang family.

The old lady was sitting on the top of the yard, and Zhang Xiang, the housekeeper Lao Zhong, and Xiao Yu were standing beside her. As for his bought daughter-in-law, she did not appear.

Only then did Zhang Yi scan the group of servants slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone raise their heads to see clearly, I am the head of this family, Zhang Yi from Jingyang County, behind are the old lady, the second lady, and the butler Uncle Zhong, I don't care what you were like before, since you are a member of the Zhang family when you enter this house, I won't starve you if you have a bite to eat, but as the saying goes, the state-owned state-law family has family rules. Punishment, as long as you work diligently at home, the Zhang family will naturally not treat you badly, but if I find out who is stealing, playing tricks, teasing narrow-minded things, you all know the consequences!

Counting me at home, there are only three masters. No matter who calls it, even if it is wrong, it must be done first. If there is something wrong, please ask the old lady or me to deal with it! "

What he said was well-founded, and the old lady could not help but nod her head. After each person was rewarded with a hundred Wen, Lao Zhong began to arrange the work of these maids and servants. It took less than half an hour for each of them to perform their duties. Get busy.

With everything in the house properly arranged, Zhang Yi started his leisurely life. The two maids were carefully pinching his shoulders, while he basked in the sun with half-closed eyes.

At this moment, Lao Zhong was standing beside him with a troubled expression on his face, and he stood there for half an hour without saying a word.

"Uncle Zhong, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. You have stood there for so long and I feel embarrassed!" Glancing at Old Zhong, Zhang Yi beckoned to Xiaoyu to signal the little girl to come over.

Perhaps it was familiar, but Xiaoyu was not afraid of Zhang Yi, first looked at Lao Zhong and saw that Lao Zhong didn't say anything, then walked up to Zhang Yi in small steps.

"Master, I...I."
