Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 96 Silver Candle Autumn Light Cold Painting Screen 4
Although the old man's ears were not working, he still got up and sent the two of them out. When they reached the door, he held Hu Chiyan's hand and looked at him with a smile, as if reluctant to let go.

Rui Yi watched from the side, and saw that Hu Chiyan didn't show any impatience, instead he held his father's hand and said loudly to him: "I will come back to see you, wait for me well."

The old man nodded with a smile, waved his hand to let the two go, and stood at the door to watch them off.

Hu Chiyan took a look at his father, then walked into the alley, Rui Yi followed him.Walking all the way to the entrance of the alley, Rui Yi turned around and saw his father leaning against the door frame and still looking in their direction.In the distance, the face of the old man is already a little blurred, only the figure under the dim light is still standing to say goodbye.

"You have such a good relationship with Dad." Rui Yi was also a little envious, and couldn't help but think of her scumbag father, who had never seen her like this before.

Hearing what Rui Yi said, Hu Chiyan raised his head and looked into the distance, and said as he walked, "If it wasn't for my father, I wouldn't have survived. He and I are more like relatives. If it wasn't for my father, I wouldn't want to leave Yunze City , I let him accompany me into Rongdu."

"Then I definitely won't go. Yunze City is the root of my father. There are his lifelong memories and family here. People who don't yearn for power or wealth and wealth. What they value most are their hometown and family. Dad can't leave." Rui Yi said softly, it's hard to leave his homeland because he has a deep love and bond for this place in his heart.

"What about you, are you willing to take Dayan?"

"I'm not willing to part with it, but there's no way I can stay." Ruiyi talked about this topic at this moment, her mood was no longer the heaviness and depression at the beginning, she always wanted to live, and always wanted to make herself happier. "When people have no choice, they can only go with the flow and live with the situation."

Turning out from the long alley, the two of them crossed a street. At this time, there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, and they turned another corner and arrived at Renshi.

Dirong's human market is different from Dayan's. The human market here is similar to Dayan's shop where slaves are sold. However, many people on Dirong's side sell themselves, and some sell their own handicrafts. It is also a living contract, and few people sign a dead contract, except for those who have no craftsmanship and can only be slaves.Such a spectacle also opened Ruiyi's eyes. When they arrived, Ban Gaoge was waiting impatiently with a straw in his mouth. When he saw the two coming from a distance, he immediately responded.

As soon as they met, they saluted Hu Chiyan first, then looked at Rui Yi with a smile, "Meet you again, Miss Pei."

Rui Yi looked at him and said, "Master Ban, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"It's okay, it's our duty." Ban Gaoge smiled brighter and brighter, looking at his master from the corner of his eyes, thinking in his heart that the two of them get along well, it seems that this time they should be able to hug the beauty back Alright.

Ruiyi only speaks polite words as Ban Gaoge, so he doesn't know the truth of what others say.

Ban Gaoge said that it was getting late, so he picked out the people first, and led Rui Yi directly into a big mansion, and said as he walked: "I went through it before you came, most of what can be left is the appearance. If you have a good temper, you can choose the rest yourself, and you can just tell which one you like. But here, except for maidservants, you can sign death contracts, and others can only sign living contracts. Of course, there are also male slaves who sign death contracts, but Basically, they don’t have any craftsmanship. If you buy them back, there will only be multiple gatekeepers. Not to mention the waste of money, it’s a waste of food. It’s better to buy a few with craftsmanship and skills. Although you can only sign a living contract, it’s more cost-effective. .”

Rui Yi slowly thought about the meaning of these words, because he had never encountered such a situation before, and Dayan basically preferred to sign a death contract, so that it was easier to grasp the loyalty of his servants.But in Dirong, it seems that such a situation is not liked by people. If a death contract is signed, according to the situation here, only those who have no ability will buy themselves as slaves and give them their lives as slaves.Those who have the ability to sign a contract of living are actually not regarded as slaves. At most, I have earned enough money and become a free man again when the contract expires.But such people are generally people with some skills, and they rely on their own skills to make a living.

If it was in Dayan, Rui Yi would naturally prefer someone who could sign a death contract. Such a person would be in his own hands and would not betray the master easily.

But now she is in Dirong, walking as a weak woman, and desperately needs the protection of capable people. In this case, it is more suitable for her to sign a contract of living.As for the future, this thought is a bit too early.

At this time, the personal servants must choose the death contract, after all, they are people who have lived by their side for many years, if they sign a living contract, Ruiyi would rather take care of herself.The first thing to look at is the close servants. There are women in the room who are older than Ruiyi, and some are younger than her. Ruiyi glanced over and saw that many people were looking straight at her, not too much. A lot of fear, I think it has something to do with Di Rong's folk customs.Only the two girls in the corner were a little different. They lowered their heads as if they were a little scared, and both of them held their hands tightly.

Rui Yi looked at Ban Gaoge and asked, "What happened to those two girls?"

Ban Gaoge followed Rui Yi's eyes and said: "They were sold by the family. They are a pair of sisters. Their mother died early, and their father was a drunkard. The family can't live on. It’s not that big and hasn’t become a skill yet, it’s so pitiful.”

Hearing the last sentence, Rui Yi rolled his eyes in his heart. Ban Gaoge thought that he wanted her to buy the pair of sisters, which is really pitiful.The older girl sees that she is younger than her, so if she buys the smaller one, she might not be able to do much at that time, and can only do some simple casual work.Perhaps it was because he left his hometown, Rui Yi really couldn't see the poor people, so he nodded and said: "Then the two of them will be fine."

Ban Gaoge nodded, then turned to look at Hu Chiyan who had not spoken.

Hu Chiyan didn't look at Ban Gaoge, and asked Ruiyi directly, "Just these two?"

"I can't even support myself now, so how can I support more people? I originally planned to only have one close-fitting one, but they can't be separated because they are sisters." Ruiyi said, "There must always be a housekeeper. If you are in the courtyard, you need a cook, and when you go out, you also need a messenger to drive the car, these people are always indispensable to settle down and start a business."

Rui Yi himself sighed as he said this, he didn't know how much money he would owe Hu Chi Yan after this, the debt would already be on his body before the day started.

There was something wrong with Ban Gaoge when he heard this, why did he look like Pei Ruiyi was living alone, then... why did King Khan bring her back?But he also knew that he couldn't ask this question at this time, he could only hold it in his heart, and he didn't know what King Khan was going to do again.

After hearing this, Hu Chiyan said: "It's not easy for you, cook, to find a good partner in a short time. The coachman has to be trustworthy to use it. It's better to be a woman, and it's more convenient to go in and out. You are always picky when you eat, and I Look at the cook, I'll find one for you directly, you just sign the contract of living. Coachman, how do you think of Mrs. Wei? She has a son who is twelve years old, and it is appropriate to pass the message back and forth."

Rui Yi looked at him in surprise when he heard this, "How can that be, Aunt Wei is from your other garden, so it's not appropriate to give it to me." She can't poach someone's corner.Moreover, Hu Chiyan's words passed back and forth were just right, but she always sounded a little uncomfortable, maybe she was thinking too much.

"What's inappropriate, they wanted to go back to Rongdu this year, and their mother and son signed a contract of living. You can find a place for them to stay, and you can get their wages. I can't wait for you."

Ban Gaoge on the side looked at King Khan with wide eyes. Aunt Wei was an old man who had been serving him in Yunze City for more than ten years. He was really willing to give it to Ruiyi.However, when King Khan said this, he couldn't dismantle it, he had to add some fuel to the side, and said: "Madam Wei has a sharp temper, she is good at driving, and she can work hard. When you go out, she will follow you." It couldn’t be better. Her kid is also smart, and it’s a great help to keep her by your side.”

To be honest, Ruiyi really likes Aunt Wei, and in his heart, Dayan is more disciplined. He lives alone in a single courtyard outside, so naturally he can live without a servant at home.Aunt Wei can drive a car and has some skills, she has a good temper, and she can also be in harmony with her. To be honest, Rui Yi really likes it.

"But, I don't know if Aunt Wei is willing." Then she looked at Hu Chiyan, "Then I owe you a favor again."

"Save it up, pay it back slowly, this life is still long, you will always pay it off, so why worry?"

Ruiyi: ...

Ban Gaoge: ...

Well, with these words, Rui Yi really couldn't refuse.

Renshi walked around and only brought back a pair of sisters in the end. They were so happy. They didn't expect that the two sisters could be with a kind master without being separated. In the capital, their sisters were naturally willing to go and have a look, so they readily agreed.

On the way back to Baixiang Garden, Ban Gaoge followed the pair of sisters, and Ruiyi walked beside Hu Chiyan. The two sisters knew who it was just by looking at those eyes, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to lift their heads. up.

That's the king of their Di Rong, what is the background of the girl who bought them, and now they are becoming more and more cautious.
