After tying up the little donkey cart, Mu Rousang saw that circumferential rapidity and her colleagues had finished talking, and then walked forward: "Paying respects to circumferential rapidity!"

circumferential rapidity looked up: "Yo, isn't this the Mu family's young lady? You came to town today! "

Last time, he had told circumferential rapidity in private to take care of the two siblings more often, and circumferential rapidity knew that this was Liu Xiucai's foster daughter. Seeing her act this courteously, his tone naturally became a lot more gentle as well.

"Mm, I was just thinking of choosing a servant here!" The two of them stood in front of the official's gate, Mu Rousang did not hide anything.

circumferential rapidity laughed: "Speaking of your luck, it's quite good. To be able to meet me here today, quickly follow me!"

Mu Rousang was suspicious, but she did not stop, and followed him into the Ya Palace, where there were many people coming and going, she was not afraid of anyone messing with her.

circumferential rapidity brought her past the courtyard and continued to walk further. Seeing that she was confused, he said: "You probably think that everyone in the courtyard looks good, right?"

Mu Rousang was troubled, she was worried that she would not be able to buy the people she wanted: "Uh, I saw that they were all delicate and tender, but I felt that they were not suitable to come to our small village's house."

"These are all good people, they were sold out after doing some dirty work in the main house. I don't want to tell you this, but since you have no elders to teach you, take it as an excuse today, don't look at the pretty faces of these men and women, these are all people that the main house must sell to the brothel servants, so, these people aren't suitable to be bought and used at home."

Mu Rousang nodded her head, she then saw some servants from rich families picking them up: "But why are there still people picking people?"

He said quietly, "If they want to buy it, why would they refuse to pay?"

Only then did Mu Rousang understand that these people would open their doors to do business. Those who looked good would naturally be placed at the front, and whether or not they would pick would all depend on their eye of discernment.

When they reached the Second Entering Courtyard, Mu Rousang felt that they were pretty good.

The circumferential rapidity called out a mischievous person and pointed at Mu Rousang: "This is my niece, today her family sent her to learn how to recruit people, you are ahead of them and can be useful."

Then he turned to Mu Rousang and said: "This is Zhang Ya, in the entire government, it's not bad if he acts like a human being. Don't worry, he won't bring those useless people to sully your eyes."

Zhang Ya was the most quick-witted of them all, hearing circumferential rapidity's meaning they just wanted to take care of him: "What is your name, young lady?"

Mu Rousang laughed: "My surname is Mu!"

Even if it was someone that was brought by the circumferential rapidity, the Zhang Ya would naturally not dare to bring those who were worried about him: "wood girl, may I know which kind of person you wish to choose?"

Mu Rousang had planned to buy a house to do menial tasks, "I want to buy a house. Hmm, men can till the fields, while women can cook and tidy up the rooms."

Zhang Ya was not surprised at all. Every day, people who came to buy would come up with strange requests. Mu Rousang's request was very normal.

"There are people like that, but we have to carefully check the Accounts. I wonder how many are needed for this room."

Mu Rousang thought about how her gatekeeper had to invite someone to watch the door, "It would be best if it was a family of three. There aren't many people in the house, and there aren't many fields, all you need is a strong worker, a kitchen maid, and a gatekeeper."

Zhang Ya invited the two of them to a teahouse and waited for them. Then, he went to the neighboring rooms and brought some servants over.

"wood girl, see, basically, there are four rooms that suit you. Take a look and see if there are any suitable rooms."

Mu Rousang looked at the four rooms, and one of the rooms had a look of disdain in her eyes. She pointed at the people in the room and said: "I don't want this room."

She and her brother were still young and she didn't want to buy a bag of villains home.

He then looked at the other Third Son's Family s. One of them was orphans and widows, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen, and the youngest was only around six.

The people of Third Son's Family did not dare make a sound, but a lady of eight or nine years old kneeled down and said: "Miss, please buy our family of four, my husband is a good farmer, if we are talking about fruit trees, then my father-in-law is the best."

Mu Rousang looked at Zhang Ya in puzzlement, and at this moment, he was staring at the woman in anger: "Zhang Ya, what is going on?"

Generally, when the host family came to pick people, these people who were sold were not allowed to make a sound. In the eyes of those rich and powerful people, they were just living beings who could understand orders.

Zhang Ya was furious. After what happened today, seeing that this little girl knew the rules, he knew that he couldn't be fooled. Furthermore, there was circumferential rapidity overseeing the situation from the side.

"wood girl, please do not be angry, I did not properly train these servants."

Mu Rousang was a little troubled. Of the people she wanted, one of the other two houses knew how to farm and the other knew how to plant fruit trees. Unless she bought the two houses back home, there would be a lot of idle people coming.

"It's fine. This is unavoidable, but what's the situation like with them?"

The Zhang Ya saw that she was moved and heaved a sigh of relief: "This house is a tenant of the neighboring village, the son of the original owner of the house is in Prefecture, before the Spring Festival, they sent people to bring him and his wife to Prefecture, and just after this year, they sold all of the land in the village. The new buyer's family does not lack tenants, and with the old and young family, the owner gave the rest of the land to the strong laborers in the family."

You don't have to sell yourself like this, do you? Mu Rousang felt that there was still a problem, her gaze landed on the woman, "Even if your family does not have the land, this is the beginning of spring and you are not in a hurry to sell yourself!"

"My lady, I beg of you to buy our family. My father is old, and we want to serve him, but if it is only that, my family does not need to sell our bodies. It is just that my mother-in-law was so sick and had no choice but to pawn all the valuable things in the family, and still owes the new owner twenty silver taels, so we have no choice but to sell ourselves to pay."

Only then did the Mu Na man who was standing at the side kneel down, and spoke in a low voice: "Miss, my father used to help the boss take care of the orchard seed, he had decades of experience, didn't you just say that you would know how to farm and how to look after the orchard seed?"

Zhang Ya was very clear about this family's background: "wood girl, what this family member said just now is the truth. This was also something that he couldn't do anything about, those who came here to buy couldn't just give in to their emotions, they would only buy the people they needed.

Mu Rousang had some intentions, she turned and said to the Zhang Ya: "Call that old man over."

The circumferential rapidity nodded his head: "Go quickly, Zhang Ya. Even these people do not dare to lie!" The commoners were most afraid of those who weren't the Jade Emperor or the current emperor, but of those who served at the bottom.

With his order, Zhang Ya immediately called for the old man to come over. The old man had a messy beard and beard, probably because he knew that his son's wife and grandson wouldn't sell them together with him, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. If Mu Rousang didn't buy them, then he would end up begging on the streets for her life.

Zhang Ya walked over: "Old Sun, your family has met a kind master."

The old man's eyes slowly lit up as he looked around excitedly. In front of him was a middle-aged man, and on the other side was a young girl.

He quickly walked in front of circumferential rapidity and said: "Greetings, old master. I have over twenty years experience in taking care of fruit trees."

Mu Rousang was amused, the circumferential rapidity only glanced at him but did not make a sound. Old Sun stood on the ground awkwardly with his body bent, he was suspicious, didn't the little martyr who was leading them just now say that someone wanted to buy him?

The Sun family's daughter-in-law was first to panic, "Young Master, it's this young lady over here."

Old Man Sun then realized that he had mistaken his master for someone else. With a blush, he turned and said, "I have seen this lady. I have been serving orchard seed at Master Qian's house for more than twenty years."

Mu Rousang felt that it was not bad, finding an experienced person to serve the orchard seed would cost a lot of silver, and what's more, the proverb was good: There was an old man in one's family, as if there was a treasure.

"What kind of fruit trees do you manage?"

Old Man Sun heard this and said, "In reply to young lady's words, the orchard seed that I served as the owner of the Qian house in the past were all peach trees, plum trees, plum trees, pear trees, and a few crabapple trees."

"Do you know how to handle apple trees and hawthorn trees?" Most of the family must have been apple trees, because she had planted the most of them since they had been stored for a long time.

Old Man Sun nodded, "I have done this before, but the owner of the land has only planted a few trees in the yard. He hasn't done this before."

Seeing that he understood a lot about fruit trees, Mu Rousang decided to buy this room. That little boy could be Mu Jinzhi's page.

"I'll decide on a subordinate!"

Her family wasn't rich, they were just small families that weren't that poor.

Zhang Ya was naturally happy. If someone wanted to buy the old man, he would raise his price by a few liang, and the percentage would increase again.

"A strong man, a young lad, eight taels of silver each, the Sun family's daughter-in-law is worth six taels, Old Sun is worth ?"

This kind of old man was worthless if no one bought him. If someone bought him, then he would have to be sold.

Mu Rousang only laughed: "Zhang Ya, it can't be that you're looking at my young age!"

Constable Zhou was a smart person, if not he would not have gotten into this position, "Zhang Ya, you wouldn't have cheated my niece, right? This kind of old man would normally not sell easily." The meaning behind his words was very clear. If one was too old to even eat or work, who would be willing to buy someone like him?

Zhang Ya responded snappily: "Constable Zhou, look, this is from the Ya Sect. Everyone is watching, we have to collect more or less."

Mu Rousang thought for a while, the Zhang Ya selling them was his job, it might be cheaper, but when it came to giving them away, he didn't have the rights.

"Look, Old Man Sun is unable to do heavy work, you can just give him a little!" Zhang Ya was in a dilemma.

Mu Rousang shook her head, her house was in need of money and she would not make things difficult for Zhang Ya, furthermore, she had a good heart, so other than taking one household as a guest, they were all sincere as well: "Zhang Ya, let's not beat around the bush, you just have to give me a cheaper price, I will buy this house for my master, and will definitely make trouble for Zhang Ya again in the future."

The Zhang Ya laughed: "Since Miss is so easy to talk about, how can I not be a good host? How about I offer three taels of silver for you see, normally I would be willing to sell it for four taels."

Mu Rousang had bought all of the death contract s this time, she was not willing to raise an ingrate in her home, the Great Yan Dynasty had its own rules on this.

Zhang Ya took over the two pairs of silvers and said to the family members, "Congratulations to your family for becoming a good master, in the future you will have to serve them well. Here, we can sell them for a total of 27 taels of silver, in which the Ya Sect can take out 200 to 700 taels of silver, leaving behind 2400 to 300 taels of gold.

Mu Rousang watched from the side and realised once again that this was not the legal society that she was living in. The lives of poor families were the most worthless in the Great Yan Dynasty, the family of four only sold them for about 4 to 2 taels of silver. "

Mu Rousang and circumferential rapidity walked out of the outer court: "wood girl, your matters have been settled. I will take my leave first."

Mu Rousang took out a small purse from his bosom and quietly handed it over to him, "circumferential rapidity has delayed you for half a day today, so this is too small a disrespect, I didn't even have the time to buy you a cup of tea."

The circumferential rapidity secretly pinched the purse, it was a little heavy, there were probably a few dozen copper coins inside, and unknowingly, he valued Mu Rousang more. Both sides were happy to deal with such a person: "Thank you, wood girl, for missing out on a few hours, I am going to patrol the town."
