"Okay, let's take this as County Captain Chen."
Fang Xiaoyue thought at this time that Chen County Lieutenant was an official in charge of public security and military affairs in Xuebei County, so he should have some martial arts skills. In this case, the chance that he could hide rare medicinal materials would increase a lot.
As beggars, they must have an understanding of the situation of the county captain who is responsible for public security. Otherwise, it would be tragic if someone accidentally did something bad and ended up in the county captain's house.
Chèn Xianwei lives in the west of the city where security is the worst.
This is not surprising. It is said that this is what he vowed to do when he first took office to keep households in the county town open.
But when Fang Xiaoyue followed the three beggars to the front of the county mansion, she saw, my dear, this county mansion is built with high eaves. Just by looking at the door covered with copper nails, you can tell that this family is rich!
Without money, who would be willing to put copper nails worth the same amount of copper coins on the door?
There were two county soldiers wearing leather armor guarding the gate of the county captain's house. When they saw a few beggars approaching from a distance, they grabbed the long knife at their waist and shouted viciously: "No one can get close to me if I don't care.
Kill without mercy!"
Well, the residence of the county captain no longer has the prestige of a ninth-rank official, but at least it has the authority of a third-rank official.
Otherwise, how dare the county soldiers yell like this?
From this we can see how domineering and domineering Chen County Lieutenant was in the local area.
The beggars naturally did not dare to use their necks to test the speed of each other's swords, so they hurriedly pulled Fang Xiaoyue, and they immediately turned into an alley.
The timid beggar introduced with lingering fear: "The county soldiers really dare to behead people. Last time, a hat vendor accidentally bumped into the county captain's sedan and was beheaded directly...
....That blood is flowing, tsk tsk.”
The people who entered the alley were naturally not just to avoid the county soldiers, but also to facilitate business.
Even if the county captain wanted to buy someone, he would not do it at the main entrance.
Hence, this alley leads right to the small back door of the county captain's mansion.
The small back door is really small and can only be accessed by one person.
Even when they arrived at the small back door of the county captain's house, the two beggars were trembling with fear and did not dare to knock on the door.
As for the timid beggar, he huddled behind Fang Xiaoyue, as if some wild beast would pounce out as soon as the door was opened.
With no choice but to do so, Fang Xiaoyue could only step forward and knock on the door.
…………
After several consecutive calls, the door opened, and a somewhat unkempt old man poked his head out. The smell of alcohol hit his face when he opened his mouth: "What are you doing? Didn't you know that this is the county captain's house? Tell me if you have anything to say.
, don’t delay my drinking!”
“I wonder if the master still has people in his house?”
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't care less about the surprise that a child would bring if he came forward to talk about something.
“I don’t know, I’m just a gardener, who wants to sell myself? I’ll ask Butler Xiao.”
This old gardener was a little drunk. He muttered a few words to himself and then turned around and left. He didn't remember to close the door, so he left the small back door open.
Of course, even if the door was open, the three beggars did not dare to act rashly.
If it were any other place, they would probably get in there and see if they could catch a sheep or something.
But this is the county magistrate's mansion!
Give them ten brave hearts and leopards' courage, and they won't even dare to take a step inside.
No way, for beggars like them, the first way to save their lives is not to provoke strong men they cannot afford to provoke!
And Chen Xianwei should be the strongest strongman in the entire Xuebei County.
The gardener seemed to have a small status in the house, so not long after, a middle-aged housekeeper with a beard came over.
According to the gardener, this is Butler Huang.
When Fang Xiaoyue mentioned the matter of selling herself, Butler Huang was a little surprised.
He has been buying people for the house for some time, but he has never seen such a young child selling his own. Looking at the three guys behind him, they are either beggars or refugees. They are completely different from this fair-faced and tender child.
Maybe a family.
But he won’t do any good things. A child like this will definitely be worth more than the previous servants when he buys a house.
No way, these days, the fight for wealth among rich people is no longer just based on the silks, gold, silver and jewelry they wear, but also the words, conversation, and appearance of the servants around them.
For example, when entertaining guests, assigning this child to serve tea and pour water will definitely have a much better effect than a tall and stout servant.
In short, Butler Huang has decided to buy the child, but due to professional habits, he savagely bargained for the price, pretending that the other party was not an officially authorized person, and reduced the initial price of 40 taels to 20 taels.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue killing, but that if it’s less than twenty taels, the kid won’t want to.
After the deed of sale was signed, twenty taels of silver were thrown to the three beggars, and as soon as the small back door was closed, Butler Huang led Fang Xiaoyue directly to the bathhouse exclusively for servants.

I have to say that the Chen County Wei family is indeed rich.
Many families in the county are reluctant to take a dip in the public bathhouses outside. The servants of the county's family have bathhouses to enjoy, which shows how luxurious they are.
You must know that the folk in this cultivation plane are only similar to the ancient times thousands of years ago in the original world.
Simply put, the development of the cultivation system has not brought any benefits to the ordinary people in this plane.
Coupled with the cultivation system’s thirst for high-end resources, it is impossible for most cultivation versions of daily necessities to be popularized by ordinary people.
Of course, Butler Huang taking Fang Xiaoyue to take a bath is not a welfare, but he is worried that the foreign children will bring in some diseases and parasites.
If any trouble occurs, he, the steward, will have to bear the responsibility.
After taking a shower, he put on a gray servant outfit that was very large for his body size.
This servant's uniform doesn't look very good, but it is made of two layers of cotton, with a thick layer of duck down inside.
Don’t think that products like down jackets only appear in modern civilized society.
The cold resistance of duck feathers is actually easy to be discovered and exploited.
Of course, rich people don’t bother to wear this kind of clothes. Most of them have mink and fox fur coats to wear.
However, even so, products like this are not something ordinary families can enjoy. Only top wealthy families like Chen Xianwei can wear this for their servants, lest they get sick and increase the risk of the masters getting sick.
.
As a new servant, Fang Xiaoyue was quickly thrown into the kitchen by Butler Huang to help cook.
This is not surprising. Fang Xiaoyue looks too young. At the age of six or seven, it is impossible for you to ask him to do some heavy work. He can only help pick vegetables in the kitchen and work hard.
In addition, just follow the rules and learn more, so as not to bump into the master in vain.
After staying in the Chen Mansion for a while, Fang Xiaoyue understood a lot more about the situation in the Chen Mansion.
