"Hello, madam." The grandmother who received Yang Haiyan was a young woman who looked charitable. "May I ask what your wife needs? Do you want to buy a house or someone? Or something else?"

Yang Haiyan: “You have to buy both a house and people, but you have to buy a house first and then people.”

When Ya Po heard this, she thought this was a big deal: "I wonder what Madam's requirements for the house are? Madam, please sit down and talk." Ya Po has seen countless people, so she naturally has a discerning eye. The lady in front of her looks very elegant, and she looks at her white and tender face. A pair of 꿛 saw that 늀 was not a rough worker, so she knew that this wife could make money.

"Thank you." Yang Haiyan sat down.

After she sat down, Yapo poured her tea.

Yang Haiyan didn't touch tea. She wouldn't drink tea outside without anyone accompanying her. It would be terrible if something happened. Yang Haiyan said: "If you want to buy a shop, it would be best if it is connected to the courtyard. The courtyard is slightly larger and can accommodate both servants and people. And if you want a shop with a back door to the courtyard, you need a large hall. Mr. Xianggong He is an officer under the Marquis. He usually entertains his colleagues at home when he comes back. If the hall is too small, there may not be room for people. "

Yang Haiyan did not specify Qin Fang's identity, but the fact that he was an officer under the Marquis was enough to make Yapo cautious. To put it bluntly, this is just borrowing the power of Marquis Yonghe, but although Qin Fang is following Captain Ao Qianfu, he is indeed the subordinate of Marquis Yonghe, so it is not wrong to say so.

Sure enough, when Ya Po heard this, she took on a more rigorous attitude than before. "Please wait a moment and look at the houses registered with Guan Ya. There is no one suitable for you."

Yang Haiyan: "I'm sorry."

Ya Po quickly read the brochure: "Madam, you asked for a big courtyard, but there is no big courtyard connected to the facade. Generally speaking, big courtyards are where the rich live, and the places where the rich live are easy and convenient. The ideal place is not in one place. Do you think it is possible to open a small courtyard? "The town's resources are limited."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she said: "How many rooms in the small courtyard can accommodate servants?"

Ya Po: "Among these courtyards with attached shops, one courtyard is better. In the downtown area, there is a small courtyard at the back with three main rooms. If you are willing, I can take you to see it."

Yang Haiyan: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

The courtyard is in the center of the town, so it is quite close to Yaxing. It is only about 600 meters to walk there.

Ya Po first took Yang Haiyan to see the shop. The shop was closed. Because the shop and the yard were together, the price was not cheap. "Look, madam, this is the courtyard. There are people selling cloth and rouge and gouache next to it. There are more women passing by."

Yang Haiyan thought to herself that if she wanted to make pastries, she would have to open them in a place with a lot of traffic.

Ya Po said: "There are two doors in the courtyard. The back door leads from the shop. How about we go in through the front door and have a look?"

Yang Haiyan: "Yeah."

After Yang Haiyan took a fancy to the courtyard and the facade, she made the decision directly. In fact, this yard is really nice. The shop is at the back door, and you can entertain guests when you enter through the front door. The reason why it was not sold is that the yard was not sold long ago and the house was just resold. Second, the price for opening the account was two cents higher than the market price.

It is not easy for people in the town to make money, and 꾉 taels of silver is not a small amount for them, so they want to pay back the price, or think about it again.

No, Yang Haiyan picked it up.

The market price for this house was thirty taels of silver. I paid thirty 꾉 taels for the purchase. Yang Haiyan had one hundred taels of gold and... paid back the price and one tael of silver. She paid thirty-four taels.

She didn't have thirty-four taels of loose silver on her, so she sold it for two taels of gold. Two taels of gold = one hundred grams, three hundred and forty taels of gold per gram, and one hundred grams of gold = thirty-four thousand taels of gold. Speaking of this, the platform is also really mysterious. As long as anything traded on the platform needs to be weighed and sold, the platform will automatically cut it off.

When the platform currency block arrived, Yang Haiyan bought one hundred taels of silver and spent 20,000 platform coins.

Ya Po took Hu Da and Yang Haiyan directly to the mayor's house to transfer the property. There was no county government office in the town, so the mayor handled these matters on behalf of the county government office. Yang Haiyan paid thirty-four taels for the house and one tael of silver as commission.

After the house was renewed, Ya Po became even more enthusiastic about Yang Haiyan. Who wouldn't like such a generous boss?

Then, they went to Yahang to visit the servants.

Yapo: "Madam, what kind of servant do you want to buy?"

Yang Haiyan: "Those who are hard-working should preferably be around thirty years old, and they can be a family. Those who can read are better, but young people and girls are not required." If it is a young man, Qin Fang will be alone Yue is not here, even though she is a servant, she doesn't want to make gossip. If it is a little girl, what if her thoughts are attracted to Qin Fang?

Therefore, Yang Hai still chooses a man and woman around thirty years old, because at this age and in this era, he can be her and Qin Fang's father and mother, and it is not easy to gossip.

A literate servant?

This puts Ya Po in a bit of a dilemma: "The servants who want to be literate must come from a wealthy family. But the servants from a wealthy family who are reduced to Ya Hang must have been sold by the family, and they still have a lot of money. The person who committed the crime was sold by the imperial court."

If someone is betrayed by the court because of something committed at home, that is a case of even sitting.

For example, the Yang family where the original family was located, the Yang family was killed, but they would be transferred to the collateral line, and the collateral line would be sold off. This situation also existed. The court sold people, and the money earned was the court. of.

Yang Haiyan: "Being betrayed by the 덿 family? That's not good. If something goes wrong with the previous 덿 family, wouldn't it be a disaster for yourself if you buy it back?"

Ya Po: "It's hard to find literate servants here."

Yang Haiyan: "What about the illiterate ones? Are there any people here with acceptable moral character?"

Ya Po thought for a while: "I really can't see this kind of thing like character." She couldn't guarantee that if something went wrong, she wouldn't be contacted?

Yang Haiyan: "Then call everyone here and let's take a look."

Ya Po: "Okay." As she said that, she went in. After a while, she came, bringing women and men of the same age, all around thirty years old.

Those people were wearing Yaxing clothes and their faces were not very good. Of course, Yaxing cannot raise people in vain, and it is extremely kind to ensure that they do not starve to death.

Ya Po: "This lady wants to buy someone. If she asks questions, you should answer them honestly."

"yes."

Seeing a beautiful and kind lady who smiled before saying anything, the women and men were a little excited and hoped that they would be selected, because they really had a hard time in Yahang, with so many people crowded together, just eating. 늀Not enough to eat. Even if I follow the others, I won't be able to eat enough, but I will definitely be fuller than in the tooth shop.

Yang Haiyan: "Are you supposed to be 꿗, male or female, literate?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, can you read? What a blessing is this?

At this time, a 꿗year-old man came: "Go back to my wife, I know how to read."

Yang Haiyan looked at him: "Are you literate?"

The man said: "My name is Hong Xuexi, who is good at academics and hopeful. When I was young, I followed my father for enlightenment. My father once attended a private school and wanted to take the imperial examination, but later he died of a serious illness. After my father passed away, in order to live, 놖늀 I started hunting. This leg was injured while hunting. It was too serious and the cost of treatment was extremely high. At that time, I didn’t have enough money to treat it elsewhere, so I gave up.”

Yang Haiyan: "Your name sounds like it comes from a scholar's family, so why are you selling your career?"

Hong Xuexi was a little cautious: "Because the time has passed, my daughter-in-law has been injured. Her child is injured and needs money, so... I sold myself." But he is a lame man, and it is not worth anything if he sells it. But if he didn't sell it, he wouldn't have any money, so he cruelly sold himself.

Yang Haiyan: "...then if you sell yourself, won't you never see your wife and children again?"

Hong Xuexi: "Madam, this is me. My wife and children are in the country." As he said, he knelt down and said, "Please buy it from my wife. I will definitely repay you for your great kindness."

Yang Haiyan was not a kind person, but when she heard that this man had sold himself for his wife, she felt a little compassionate. She looked at Yapo: "How can he sell it?"

Ya Po: "Twenty taels of silver." In fact, when Ya Bank bought Hong Xuexi, it also spent one tael of silver.

Yang Haiyan nodded and said to Hong Xuexi: "Stand aside." Then she looked at the crowd: "Are people like you still literate?"

No one opened it.

Yang Haiyan asked: "Do you know how good your cooking skills are?"

A woman said: "Madam, I used to be a cook in a wealthy family. Do you think I can do it?"

Yang Haiyan looked at her. It was impossible to tell what kind of character this person was at first glance, but at that time, there was no fate between people, and it had to be a matter of eyesight. Yang Haiyan had a good eye on this woman. At least she was thin and her face was sallow, but her face still looked kind. Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay. But whether it's you or this Uncle Hong, if you don't do well here, I won't keep you. It doesn't matter if you are stupider or more honest. Between servants, Loyalty is the most important thing.”

Uncle Hong, woman: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan paid the money and went back with their selling contract. Uncle Hong had two taels of silver, and the woman had six taels of silver. A total of eight taels of silver was spent, plus the thirty taels of silver that were spent on the house plus commission, and the forty-three taels of silver were gone.

When they got to the yard, Yang Haiyan asked Hong Xuexi and a woman to clean the house. The woman's name was Fan Cuiliu, who turned out to be the cook of a wealthy family. The main wife and the concubine of this family fought fiercely. Once, the concubine took advantage of the kitchen, causing the main wife to almost have a miscarriage. As a result, the people in the kitchen were changed. This is how Fan Cuiliu was sold. of.
