As soon as the horse dealer heard that the business had turned around, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily and said: "Little girl, I don't have horses as expensive as thirty-eight taels here. The most expensive and best ones only cost twenty."
Two! Take a look, you two! The horses here are also pretty good!"
When the horse dealer first saw his customer slipping away, he became anxious and grabbed Du Chuanfu, who was a step behind. "Big brother! We have business to discuss! The price is not something you can just say, let's talk about it slowly!"
"
Du Chuanfu ignored him and only came to Song Qiu.
The horse dealer was even more anxious, "If you sincerely buy it, I will sell it sincerely. Brother, just tell me the price! We can easily discuss it!"
Song Qiu pointed here and asked Du Chuanfu to continue looking at the horses. Du Chuanfu ignored the horse dealer and looked at the horses here.
When the horse dealer saw that his business had been taken away, he was so anxious that he had no choice but to blow his beard and glare at his colleague. He did not leave and stood there with his chest in his arms, waiting for Du Chuanfu to come out.
What kind of thing.
Soon, Du Chuanfu also saw a horse in the pen here. It was a horse that was slightly darker than brown and almost reddish brown. There was also a bunch of white hair on the top of its head.
.
Song Qiu pointed to the horse and asked the price.
The horse dealer took one look at it and immediately said: "This horse is not bad. The market price is eighteen and a half taels. If you want it sincerely, girl, I will give you a saddle for free! What do you think?"
Song Qiu heard that the price of eighteen and a half taels and a set of saddlery seemed appropriate. He glanced at Du Chuanfu and saw him nodding. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I want this horse!"
When the horse dealer heard that it was a deal, he immediately became anxious and tried to squeeze towards Song Qiu, but was stopped by Du Chuanfu, who kept muttering: "Girl, you should take a fancy to my horse first."
Yes! I will also give you a saddle, which is also eighteen and a half taels! You buy this from me! My horse is good!"
The horse dealer behind him snickered in his heart, you deserve it for bullying a stranger, the lion!
He quickly responded, led the horse out, asked his young apprentice to look at the fence, and hurriedly took Song Qiu and the two of them to the scribe's office on the side to register.
The carriage and horse market in the county has a special clerk who is in charge of large-scale livestock transactions such as cattle and horses. They are all concentrated here. As long as you register with the clerk and leave the paperwork, you don't have to go to the county government.
Otherwise, with so much trading volume every day, all the people pulling cattle and horses and mules to the county government office would be a mess, wouldn’t it?
Song Qiu followed and paid the money. The horse dealer handed in the paperwork himself, got the document stamped by the scribe and handed it to Song Qiu.
This business is done.
Du Chuanfu took the horse and followed Song Qiu to the outside of the market. He found a shop at the entrance and spent a tael of silver to buy a similar carriage and put it on it.
Song Qiu didn't know how to drive a carriage, so he drove a mule carriage himself, and left the new carriage to Du Chuanfu to drive.
The two of them went back to Dongcheng in tandem and went to Sanyang Yahang as usual.
The waiter who greeted the guests at the door still remembered Song Qiu and the two. After all, it was just what happened yesterday afternoon and he didn't forget it so quickly.
Seeing these two people here again, I thought it was because there was something wrong with the house that I sold yesterday and I didn’t want it anymore, so I wanted to return it?
This is not possible. All the documents have been lost and the transaction is over. There is no reason to withdraw from the dental shop.
Besides, their house's serious business is no problem, right?
The waiter murmured in his heart and led the people to go to Manager Zeng.
When Manager Zeng saw someone, he was also puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What is this girl doing today?"
Seeing this, Song Qiu knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "I am here today to buy some smart and diligent people."
"So that's it." When Manager Zeng heard that business was coming to him again, he quickly smiled and introduced Manager Ding, who was in charge of buying and selling people.
Manager Ding is a middle-aged woman, her hair is neatly combed into a bun, and she looks very capable.
"I wonder what kind of person the girl plans to buy? A maid to serve? Or a boy? Or a mother who can take care of things? We have a large number of people in the dental shop and a complete set. We can guarantee that the girl will be able to pick out whatever she wants."
As he said this, he took Song Qiu and the two of them back, past the main hall, through the atrium at the back, and arrived at a slightly smaller flower hall.
Song Qiu explained the conditions which were almost the same, and Manager Ding knew what was going on. He invited the two of them to sit in the flower hall for a while, and soon brought back a group of people.
There were people old and young, men and women, all standing in, and the whole flower hall was full.
But these people stood in a neat and orderly manner. Although there were many people, they did not appear chaotic at all. Instead, they were arranged in rows, allowing everyone to see everyone clearly without feeling dazzled.
As expected, it is a dental clinic in a large county town, and the rules it has trained are incomparable to those of a small dental clinic in the town.
But rules are rules. Whether this person is good or not depends on others.
Song Qiuchu came here for the first time, and was not familiar with this Yaxing. Unlike Zeng Yapo's place, she told her clearly where everyone was coming from, and there was no way they could fool her or hide anything from her.
I can't tell for sure here.
You still have to keep your eyes open. If you really want to ask where you came from, you may tell the truth.
At that moment, Song Qiu carefully looked at the people standing among them.
There are four rows in total, two rows for men and women.
After scanning around, Song Qiu picked a few that caught his eye immediately, and asked them to come to the front of the queue to talk.
What a coincidence, she was given the choice here by a couple.
The man's name is Meng Chaoqun. He is in his mid-thirties and has attended school for several years since he was a child. He knows some words and can write a few words, and he is also smart. Unfortunately, the family's farmland is not in good condition and there is no way for him to go to school.
After going to school, he had no choice but to go home and farm.
But his luck was bad. Not long after, his hometown was hit by a disaster. He fled with his family. His parents, brothers and sisters all died to protect him. Later, he dragged the bodies of his family members to the disaster relief. In order to bury them, he simply
He sold himself for a few taels of silver to bury a few simple coffins.
After selling his body, he moved around a lot, working as a cow or a horse, and stayed in many places.
He only worked for one master's house and worked there for more than ten years. His wife, Mrs. Zhong, was also married there. Because he was appreciated by the master of the master's house and worked as the second steward of the outer courtyard, he was lucky enough to marry the maid next to his wife.
This Mrs. Zhong was the dowry of the original wife. She was in charge of the small kitchen in the wife's courtyard and was a good cook.
Unfortunately, the head of the family was implicated in a crime committed by a direct descendant, and their home was ransacked and all their property was confiscated.
All of their servants were sold out.
Listening to this, Song Qiu suddenly lost his mind, thinking that this is how it is these days. If one person commits an offense and the whole family is implicated, it is only a small matter. What is more serious is how many clans are implicated!
Think about it, it is better for future generations. Whoever commits the crime will bear the responsibility, and it will never affect others.
When I came back to my senses, I saw that the two men were standing neatly after answering, without looking around. Thinking about what they were good at, I couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Let the two of them wait for a while, and then look at the other people.
