Chapter Six(1/2)

At the end of January, when wages were paid, I was given 60 silver dollars this month. I counted them and kicked them into my pocket. It was really heavy. Many people in BJ City didn't even have 10 silver dollars in January.

"With my salary this month, I can buy a lot of things."

"That's because of your blessing. I have to go to Carpenter Lu's to see how the things are being done."

"Okay, let's go." "How are you looking for someone? Do you want me to introduce you?"

"It's great that you have a matchmaker you know."

"Well, I know someone like that. I'll take you there later. You think about what you want first."

"Thank you for your trouble. I thought about it, I want someone 16 or 7 years old, good-looking, and preferably broad-minded."

"Broad-minded?"

I made a sign on my chest saying "Broad-minded."

"Oh~, you are choosing a wife!"

Without looking at him, he said, "My standards are pretty good. If you don't like it, I'll go look for it among the homeless."

"Wait while we go."

"Hey, you are busy, so you are not in a hurry. I am not in a hurry, not at all."

After Brother Qiu had paid all his wages, he put away his things and said, "Let's go!"

"Please, please first!"

After passing a few alleys, we came to a second-entry courtyard. There were many women in the courtyard. When they saw us, they all ran back and looked at us through the cracks in the door.

"Mr. Qian, long time no see."

"It turns out it's Master Qiu. Today, I asked you why the magpies are chirping this morning. It turns out it's you, Master Qiu. Please tell me what you care about, Master Qiu."

"Mr. Qian, do you still want me to take care of you? Look at this hospital, you don't look like you are in need of care."

"I just make money as a matchmaker. If these girls don't find good families, don't I also care about the food?"

"I don't know about you yet, but I'm here today. My brother wants to choose someone from you who can take care of others." "Hurry up and tell the money matchmaker about your standards."

"Matchmaker Qian, it's like this. I want a 16 or 7-year-old girl, good-looking, and preferably broad-minded." After saying that, he made a sign on his chest.

"I know, I have two suitable ones, you can take a look first."

"I'm tired."

I saw Matchmaker Qian enter the house and bring out two girls, one with a round face and two big, watery eyes; the other with a bright and charming look. They also share a broad mind.

"You came at the right time. One is called Aiqin and the other is Danniu. They both came yesterday."

"Are you all that person?"

"They are all from Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province. Their family suffered a disaster years ago. Now that they have heard about it, her father left the girl with me and took his son back."

"Then you can make the decision."

"Of course, you are interested in that one."

I pointed at the sultry girl.

"Aegean," "Okay, you go back to the house!"

After the two girls entered the house.

"This girl Aiqin is a good girl. You must treat her well."

"The money matchmaker is ready, how much do you want?"

"You can take 50 silver dollars with you."

"That's a lot! 30 silver dollars."

"Hey, this is a 16-year-old girl, and she looks so iconic. If it weren't for you, Mr. Qiu, I wouldn't let anyone see her!"

Brother Qiu looked at me,

"Media Qian, 40 silver dollars for a 16-year-old girl, plus 5 silver dollars if she looks like a girl. Okay, we'll find a guarantor."

"Okay, for Master Qiu's sake, 45 silver dollars is just 45 silver dollars. I'll ask someone to be the surety."

"Okay, when I go back, there won't be any problems in her family, right?"

"Look what you said." After saying that, he went into the house and took out a written note. "Her father had made a written note when he left."

I picked it up and wrote:

Qian Xiaoguo, the person who made the gift of the title, was unable to make a living due to family difficulties and was confused by love. He named his daughter Aiqin, who is now sixteen years old and was born on July 24, 2019. She was willing to give it to Liu Xingye to educate her.

It is up to the master to avoid the suffering of cold and hunger, to be a maid and a slave, and in the future, whether to marry or become a concubine, it is up to the master. If unfortunately, this girl dies of illness, or is abducted and disappears, she has nothing to do with the master.

, empty words without proof, and standing generals and written evidence as evidence.

"Look, what Matchmaker Qian does is make people feel at ease."

"We also have a good reputation. As a guarantor, do you think Mr. Song at the entrance of the alley is successful?"

Brother Qiu said, "Okay, you go and call, we will wait here."

After hearing what Brother Qiu said, Matchmaker Qian went out to find a guarantor.

"The situation in the city is not right recently. President Li and Prime Minister Duan are at odds. Even the mud-legged guy on the roadside knows about it. There is no telling when a fight will break out. We need to have enough food at home!"

"How much does the wheat cost at my employer's house?"

"Even though it's not like the 5.14 silver dollars per stone sold outside, it costs 3.81 silver dollars per stone."

I counted the money in my hand and said, "I want two stones."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to move it back later."

While they were talking, Matchmaker Qian came in with Second Master Song, greeted each other, sat down and wrote the document, which was signed by all parties.

Seeing that the document had been established, Matchmaker Qian went into the house and took Aiqin out. Aiqin had already put away her things in the house and walked out empty-handed. I saw that she had nothing in her empty hands, so I asked Aiqin: "Don't you have anything?"

?”

"Aegean, her father didn't leave her anything."

Aegean stood beside him uneasily, lowering her head and making no sound.

"I know, okay, see you later." "Let's go, follow us!"

"Okay, okay, see you later, and be careful on the road!"

Brother Qiu and I were walking in front, and Aiqin was following behind. I suddenly stopped, and Aiqin stopped immediately. I suddenly started running, and she quickly followed. I looked at her and held her hand. She also

I wanted to hide, but when I caught her, she stopped moving. I walked up to Brother Qiu and said:

"Brother Qiu, you are laughing!"

"It's okay, no more fun, I'll go back first, you take your time!"

"You are joking!"

Back in the warehouse, Brother Qiu asked Lao Zhang and the others to pack two stones of wheat. After Lao Zhang finished loading, Brother Qiu added a lot more, about half a stone more, and he was paying for it.

"Give me 7.6 yuan and you'll touch the last digit!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"Wang Wenshu, we will move it back for you."

"That's troublesome!"

Lao Zhang called a pallet truck at the door and asked several laborers to load it.

"Wang Wenshu, okay, you go first!"

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! I was not polite and took the lead. I also went to Carpenter Lu’s house first.

"You guys wait outside first."

"You are busy, we are waiting for you here"

"Thank you!" "Carpenter Lu, Carpenter Lu, are you at home?"

"Hey, you're here. I was just going to find you."

"If you don't come to me again, your reputation will be ruined."

"Hey Haihan, Haihan, please take a look at things first. We've put a lot of effort into it."

"Okay, let's take a look first!"

Carpenter Lu, took me to the furniture. Hey, the craftsmanship is really good. The flowers, birds, fish and insects painted are lifelike.

"Okay, Carpenter Lu, here's the final payment, please order."

"Don't I still believe you?" He didn't stop working on his hands.

"You have to help me bring my things back!"

"Wait a minute, I'll call someone"
