Chapter 72

During this period, although Fengqi City was expensive as the country of Nanyue, the land and housing prices were not too expensive. After all, houses here were for living, not for increasing value.

Qin Luoyan looked at several houses under the shopkeeper's introduction, all of which were exquisite and grand courtyards, but the prices were not expensive, and the highest courtyard was only priced at a thousand taels of silver.This also made her, a soul from modern times, sigh. In the capital, it is possible to buy a house at such a cheap price. Is this a place where ancient times are more advanced than modern times?
Moreover, class status is emphasized here, the top is an official, the middle is a merchant, and the bottom is a farmer. Therefore, anyone who tries to pass the imperial examination to become an official with a little education will look down on businessmen. If you become an official, even if you are wealthy Enemy countries are nothing in the eyes of their officials.

Qin Luoyan sighed. Since time travel is a woman, it is impossible to become an official, but she is willing to try to make money in business. Perhaps, it is because she is a soul from modern times in her bones, so she has a deep-rooted feeling Money is the best and most reliable thing in this world.

When the sunset was approaching, Qin Luoyan finally picked a couple who were not too big or small to enter the yard. The yard was not big, with only a few rooms, but it was big enough for Qin Luoyan and Yisheng. A few rooms can also recruit a few workers to help.

The owner of the yard seemed to have just left Beijing, so the items inside were fairly complete. The two settled in the yard for a night, and went to purchase various household items early the next morning.

Watching the workers move the furniture one by one into the yard, Qin Luoyan, who was standing under the corridor, couldn't help pinching his own face, it hurt so much, it wasn't a dream.

She really left the palace, really, she can live a peaceful life with Yisheng.

Yisheng was also very happy. He accompanied Qin Luoyan to buy various things in the city every day. After five days, he finally tidied up the small courtyard as she wanted.

Early in the morning, a toothmaid came to the yard with several teenage girls. Two days ago, Qin Luoyan went to the toothmaid and said that he wanted to recruit workers. Unexpectedly, it was only two days ago that the toothmaid So many people came here.

Seeing seven or eight timid little girls standing in front of her, Qin Luoyan frowned slightly, and then asked everyone to give a brief introduction. After listening to the introductions of several people, her frowning became more profound.

It turns out that these girls are from the villages near the outskirts of the city. Most of them have too many siblings in their families, but they live in poverty, so the family wants to sell them, especially the little girl standing in the farthest corner, who is thin and flat Yes, with both feet, wearing only a layer of cotton clothes in the winter, the whole body shivered when the wind blew.

She sighed, and pointed to the little girl, "Leave her alone, and I will give each of the others one tael of silver to let them go back."

Picking helpers is not a good deed, and she is not a saint, so she naturally knows that she should choose those who are healthy and capable, but seeing a shivering child leave with a disappointed face, she really can't help herself.

"Girl really want to choose her?" The toothmaid was taken aback and didn't realize it for a long time.

Qin Luoyan nodded, and took some silver from his bosom and put some in everyone's hands. A tael of silver is not a small amount for these families, it is enough for them to buy food for half a month, so their Unbelievable was still written on his face, but in the end he was disappointed.It's a pity they couldn't keep such a generous master.

The old lady also got Qin Luoyan's reward, she seemed unable to bear it, and persuaded: "Old lady, I think the girl is a good person, but that girl is really thin and weak, and all her family members are dead, it is said that she died of illness, In case she suffers from any illness, the girl will keep her..."

"If I keep her, I'll just find someone to see a doctor for her. Of course it's best if I can survive. If I really can't survive, it's her life." Qin Luoyan sighed, and said to the toothmaid: "More Your kindness, I want her."

It was the first time for the toothmaid to meet such a picky master. At first, she felt that this person might not know how to pick someone. Hearing what she said, there was a bit of admiration on her face, "Young lady is kind, old lady." I wish the girl a good life and a good reward."

Qin Luoyan politely agreed, and after the matchmaker left with the rest of the people, she called the little girl in front of her. The little girl still looked timid, and immediately knelt down for Qin Luoyan.

"Get up and talk, in my yard, you are not allowed to kneel in the future." Qin Luoyan sighed for a long time. In the past, she was either in the General's Mansion or Wuxuan Prince's Mansion, but there was no place where she could make decisions for herself. She couldn't control or accept the matter of treating people as goods, buying and selling them as slaves, but she was powerless to change them.

Now, even if it’s just such a small world, she still wants to keep what she wants to keep. She must let herself remember that she is an intellectual from modern times, even if her concepts and ideas would be different in this feudal society. Become a different kind, but, she wants to remember the original appearance by herself, she is afraid, afraid that if she lives here for a long time, she will forget that she is an existence no lower than anyone else.

The little girl raised her head in surprise after hearing her words, but stood up obediently and obediently.

"Do you have a name?" Qin Luoyan asked.

The little girl nodded and said, "Erya." Her voice was full of childishness.

Qin Luoyan also reached out and touched her head, "Erya, you will help me here from now on, and I will pay you every month. When you are leaving someday, just let me know in advance. "

"Salary?" Erya's eyes widened, "Didn't I sell myself to Miss?"

Qin Luoyan smiled and shook her head, "I don't buy slaves, I only hire helpers." As she spoke, she tore up the contract of prostitution in her hand in front of Erya.

Erya was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and after a while, she burst into tears, but she still didn't speak, and just knelt down in front of Qin Luoyan again, and kowtowed a few times.

Qin Luoyan couldn't help but sighed again, she was still a little incapable of accepting the fact that people in this society would kneel down every now and then, "Why do you forget what you just said, don't kneel down casually in the future."

Erya wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and immediately got up, "Well, Miss will do whatever she wants."

Qin Luoyan shook her head. For ordinary people who have been completely enslaved by the feudal ideology, she can do very little. Perhaps, in their eyes, her existence is the alternative.She didn't expect Erya to understand her thoughts, she just tried her best to be clear of her heart.
