Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 108

Lin Shilang smiled at the invitation, and Chen Yi found out after getting into the carriage that sure enough, the carriage also had classes.

Before, there was no comparison between the carriage going to Longxi and this private carriage.

The carriage was covered with many soft cushions, making it very comfortable to sit on. There were even teacups and teapots on the table. The carriage drove smoothly, and Chen Yi felt that drinking tea inside would not be a big problem.

The two of them sat in the carriage and soon came to the place of the prostitute, after getting out of the carriage.

Chen Yi followed Lin Shilang towards the courtyard, and said that the courtyard was very large, much larger than where Chen Yi lived, and the matchmaker had obviously received the news.

Seeing them greet them directly, they were very enthusiastic.

Of course, Chen Yi does not agree with the buying and selling of population, but the current society is like this. For those ordinary people, this is the fastest and most effective way to get rich.

In the countryside, you may not have enough to eat all year round, but you sell yourself and work in a rich family's house, whether you are a servant or a porter, at least you can eat and drink for a year.

Especially high-ranking and big families, they all pay attention to their reputation, and they often criticize their subordinates harshly, but it is not too much.

In fact, the main reason for the buying and selling of population is because of economy.

If everyone can have enough to eat and the family is rich, who would be willing to sell themselves.

Chen Yi smiled and nodded towards the matchmaker, as a greeting. In fact, the matchmaker's occupation is now a headhunting company or an employment agency.

It's just that in ancient times, the requirements were even higher. A good matchmaker would not abuse her servants, but would sell them at a high price. No one likes to buy a servant who has been abused for a long time.

Chen Yi and the others followed the matchmaker inside, walked through the corridor, and entered a large courtyard. The middle of the courtyard was very empty. At this time, many people, both men and women, had been occupied.

There are people of all ages, obviously they have considered their own needs before.

Chen Yi thought about it for a while now, the concierge definitely needs one, the kitchen also needs one, and he also needs a servant behind him, Cao Bo is responsible for other trivial matters in the family.

I also want to find an assistant for Uncle Cao, after all Uncle Cao is very old.

Chen Yi thought about the manpower he needed, and then began to look at the people standing in the yard.

The prostitute led the two of them to a seat in the middle of the yard.

Only then did I stand aside and start introducing.

"I don't know what kind of person the young master wants. I am very familiar with these people. I can choose slowly and make sure you are satisfied. Apart from these, if you are not satisfied, I have others here."

The prostitute waited quietly, and stepped forward to recommend without any strength.

Although it was said that it was the two sons who came to buy the man, this meant that there should be no female elders who made decisions in the family.

Some of them belonged to the Lin family.

I don't know which family's son next to him is, he looks very imposing and handsome, although the clothes on his body are not brand new, but the material is the best, the official cloth uniformly issued by the government.

This toothmaid can still tell, after all, she deals with people every day, and she always needs a little insight.

The prostitute was thinking in her mind that anyone who could afford to wear official clothes must be serving in the imperial court. This Great Wu Kingdom has clear regulations. If it is not for officials wearing official uniforms, if it is found out, it will be a serious crime of beheading.

Naturally, no one would die just for some clothes.

But now in the court, there are no female elders in the family, and those who come to buy servants are either newcomers or have just moved back.

But in other places, they will bring their servants with them, even if they are buying people, they will not come in person.

This can be ruled out, that is, the new price is too high.

Above the court, with such a young age and a newcomer, it goes without saying that there is only one person.

The matchmaker's thoughts changed sharply, and she had already guessed Chen Yi's identity.

At this moment, Lin Shilang asked Chen Yi.

"Chen Shilang, see what kind of servant you want, and I can help you choose together."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, looked at the matchmaker standing aside, and saw the suddenly enlightened expression on the matchmaker's face, Chen Yi also knew that the matchmaker might have guessed his body.

Chen Yi didn't want to hide it.

So he said directly: "I need a concierge, a cook, I don't know if there is any recommendation."

Chen Yi planned to make up for these people first. As for the boy, he should choose slowly. After all, he will follow behind him in the future, so he must choose the one he is satisfied with.

After hearing this, the matchmaker immediately clapped her hands, and among the group of people in front of her, several people walked out.

There is a family of three, a man, a woman and a boy aged seventeen or eighteen.

There was also a single middle-aged man in his 50s, and three or four teenagers in his [-]s or [-]s.

Of course, on the other side, there were seven or eight women in their 30s standing alone, some in separate groups from the previous ones.

The prostitute pointed to the family of three and began to introduce.

"My lord, this is a family of three. The man can be in charge, the woman can cook well, and the son can be a servant or a porter. It depends on how you arrange it. They are all seasoned veterans."

Chen Yi nodded and asked again: "What happened to their last family? How did they get bought and sold here?"

Ya Po was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Chen Yi to ask such a professional question.

This question is asked by a woman, and it's not a big deal, but men are generally not so careful and don't pay so much attention to it. Since Chen Yi can ask it, he must know something about it.

The matchmaker immediately calmed down and became more careful.

Just like this family of three, they originally belonged to Zhuangzi, but later the village was bought out, so they were dismissed.

After hearing this, Chen Yi didn't say yes or no, he just nodded.

In fact, I muttered in my heart, as expected, there seemed to be some problems with the family of three. Those who worked on Zhuangzi were usually very difficult to be dismissed by the master, let alone being bought and sold, unless there was a major mistake or something happened.

As for the Zhuangzi, it’s just planting the land, looking at the garden and so on. Of course, there are individual Zhuangzi who also manage some other things, but it’s not particularly difficult, after all, they are not serving by the owner’s side.

At this moment, Chen Yi saw the man from that family look up, and smiled at him ingratiatingly.

The expression on his face was relatively naive, but his eyes were looking him up and down, obviously evaluating something, Chen Yi couldn't help frowning.

Not too happy with the family.
