Most of these people were sallow and thin, and their clothes were shabby. At this moment, they all looked at Shen Wan with a pair of dull eyes. Seeing that she had a kind face and looked like a master who would not treat others harshly, many people had longing in their eyes. I want to be bought by her.
A child was rubbing his clothes in the corner. When he saw everyone standing in a row under the steps, he stood up and walked over slowly. His hair was a little messy and his face was dirty. , his eyes were lifeless and his face was expressionless, like a zombie.
When Mrs. Chen saw him coming, she said, "You don't have to come over. What I want to buy is a girl."
The child was speechless, turned around and walked back.
Shen Wan said: "Wait, let him come over."
The child looked very familiar, as if he was the little beggar Ling'er who was rescued by her that day. Didn't he have money? Why was he sold to the dental shop again? Two hundred taels of silver was enough for his family to buy things. They have some fields and can live a stable life.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Didn't you hear Madam calling you to come over? Come over quickly."
This child is also pitiful. After being admitted to the dental clinic, he has not spoken a word. He will not eat even if you are not told to eat. Although he does everything he is asked to do, he is like a walking zombie without a soul. It makes people feel very distressed to see it. This lady seems to be a kind person. If this child can be bought by her, it will be a good thing for him.
Chu Ling slowly walked over and stood with everyone, lowering his head and looking at his torn cloth shoes.
"How much does this child cost?" Shen Wan asked, pointing at Chu Ling.
Mrs. Chen thought for a while and said, "Ten taels of silver."
The child is still young and can't do much work. Even buying ten taels of silver is considered too much.
Shen Wan frowned and said, "I want it."
What on earth has this child experienced? There was light in his eyes before, but now they have turned into a pool of stagnant water, as if he had been hit hard.
"Why don't you thank Madam soon?" Mrs. Chen said hurriedly to Chu Ling.
Chu Ling didn't say anything, but bowed to Shen Wan.
Mrs. Chen laughed along and said to Shen Wan: "Madam, don't be offended. This child is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk."
"No problem." Shen Wan looked at Chu Ling and shook her head.
"Madam, don't you want to buy two people? Madam, let's see who you want to pick again?"
Shen Wan stared carefully at the person standing under the steps.
"Ma'am, pick me! I can do anything." A woman in her early thirties looked at Shen Wan with wide eyes and said.
With her as a starting point, others started to recommend themselves.
"Ma'am, please pick me! I can pick a table, and I can also cook."
"Madam picked me, I will work more and eat less."
For a while, the courtyard was very noisy.
"Shut up, everyone." Seeing that they were all in a mess, Ms. Chen shouted.
When Mrs. Chen shouted, everyone fell silent.
Shen Wan looked carefully and finally picked out two women with honest faces and very clean looks. One was in her early thirties and the other was in her mid-twenties. I heard from Ya Granny that the one in her early thirties was called Xiujuan'er and she was a hard-working woman. Her husband The child contracted an epidemic and died. Her husband's family said she had killed her and sold her. This twenty-five-year-old girl was called Zhiqiu. She was a maid from a wealthy family. Because she made a mistake, she was given away by her master. Sold.
Because Xiujuan'er and Zhiqiu are both adults, the price is naturally more expensive, twenty-five taels of silver per person.
After paying the money and taking the deed of betrayal, Shen Wan took them to the dental shop.
Qiu Ju also knew that the child his wife bought was a little beggar that day, so she held his hand all the time.
Because it was almost dinner time, Shen Wan took them into a small restaurant.
"You guys should sit down too!" Shen Wan took her seat and looked at Xiujuan'er and Zhiqiu who were standing still and said.
Chu Ling, on the other hand, had been hugged by Qiu Ju and placed on a stool. He was still expressionless, looking ahead with dull eyes.
Xiujuan'er waved her hands in fear, "No, no need, I just need to stand."
Although she has never been a servant, she has heard that when the master's family is having dinner, they have to stand and wait on them, and they have to call themselves slaves.
Zhiqiu didn't speak, just lowered his eyelids and stood quietly.
