Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again

Amid the uneasiness of Zhuang Zhai Yazi, she nodded slowly and said, "At this time tomorrow, you will wait for me here with the contract."

Anyway, she has to go out tomorrow, so she came here by the way.

"Okay, okay." Zhuang Zhai Yazi nodded repeatedly.

The next day, when Lin Zhuwei arrived here, Zhuang Zhai Yazi was already waiting there.

When he saw Lin Zhuwei coming, he hurried over and handed the contract to her.

Lin Zhuwei took a look and found no problem, so he signed it readily.

After settling the silver, Lin Zhuwei asked casually, "Do you know any human traffickers?"

"Does the young lady need to buy some maids and servants?"

Lin Zhuwei didn't explain much, just nodded.

The pawnbroker of the Zhuangzhai was very happy: "My brother is in the pawnbroker shop. He has quite a few indentured slaves, all of whom are young and strong. Can I take my wife to have a look?"

Lin Zhuwei nodded, and the others followed the manor's broker to the brokerage shop in the human city.

Seeing that those indentured slaves were indeed quite good, Lin Zhuwei spent twelve taels of silver to buy four of them.

The older indentured servants here are only worth a little over one or two taels of silver.

Lin Zhuwei picked two old maids who were a bit older, looked comfortable, and were quite nimble in their movements.

The other two were Xitong, who were of similar age, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Lin Zhuwei had a brief conversation with them and learned that the Xitong named Amu was an orphan since childhood. Before he was ten years old, he had been wandering the streets and begging for food.

After she turned ten, she was sold to a family as a guard. Three months ago, the family committed a crime and was in urgent need of money, so they had no choice but to sell all the maids and servants. Amu was also sold to a pawnbroker.

Having experienced so much, Amu is naturally very smart. Although Lin Zhuwei is dressed simply without any clothes, he is not as proud and domineering as the fat man standing next to him.

But he immediately determined that Lin Zhuwei was the only one who could make the decision among this group of people.

So Amu immediately took the initiative to present himself to Lin Zhuwei.

Smart people often know how to seize opportunities.

Lin Zhuwei chuckled. She really needed such a smart person. So even though Amu needed six taels of silver, she still paid it readily.

The other boy named Xiaoshi seemed dull and honest. He didn't say much, but just looked at Lin Zhuwei with clear eyes.

Those pitiful eyes reminded her of the little neighbor boy in her previous life who loved to visit her house.

Just like that, Lin Zhuwei's heart fluttered, and she decided to buy him without any hesitation.

Zhuang Zhaiyazi and his brothers were particularly happy. They hadn't met such a straightforward employer for a long time. Not only did he buy four people at once, but he also didn't bargain and paid very quickly.

How could they know that Lin Zhuwei was extremely averse to seeing these people being picked up like commodities by rich people and sold at a high price.

This is the good thing about modern civilization: everyone is an independent individual and is priceless in themselves. Their value cannot be measured by money, and dignity is put first.

Lin Zhuwei couldn't help but start to miss her previous world.

After paying the full amount of silver, Lin Zhuwei took them back to the newly purchased courtyard - Qingyuan.

Lin Zhuwei took them on a tour of Qing Garden, briefly explained some rules, and then asked Abu to assign them work - to clean up the yard first.

Then she gave Abu two taels of silver and asked her to take Amu to buy some daily necessities. She also gave one tael of silver to one of the old maids, Aunt Xue, and asked her to buy some food, vegetables and fruits.

After explaining all this, Lin Zhuwei went back first.

The next day, Lin Zhuwei came again and was very satisfied to see that Qingyuan was tidied up and clean.

Some new furniture has been added to the main hall.

Lin Zhuwei sat down, waved to Aunt Xue to come over, and asked: "Do you know where I can buy seed melon?"

That’s right, she wanted to make melon seeds.

Of course there are melon seeds here, and most of them are taken out from seed melons.

But she tasted the melon seeds in the nearby shops and found that almost all of them were peeled and used to make sugar-fried melon seeds. Moreover, there were not many melon seeds on the market, and they had not become a must-have snack for chatting and gossiping like they are now.

People here grow seed melons mostly just to eat the flesh, and most of the seeds are dug out and thrown away.

Aunt Xue was very enthusiastic: "Madam, do you want to eat some melon? I'll go buy some now."

"No, what I want is a lot of seed melons, the more the better." Lin Zhuwei said.

Aunt Xue was a little confused, but still said, "The villagers of Yabian Village make a living by growing melon seeds. But they are 20 kilometers away."

Lin Zhuwei thought about it, asked Aunt Xue to go out, and called Amu and Xiaoshi in.

"Amu, little kids, follow Aunt Xue to Yabian Village to buy melon seeds these days. Get the big, ripe ones. The more the better." Lin Zhuwei instructed and gave Aunt Xue twenty taels of silver.

Aunt Xue couldn't believe that Lin Zhuwei trusted her so much, and she was deeply touched.

Lin Zhuwei turned around and asked Amu, "Can you find someone to rent a carriage?"

Twenty kilometers, a horse carriage can usually reach the place in an hour and a half. Adding the time spent buying melon seeds, it might only take one round trip a day.

Amu said, "Madam, I have acquaintances at the horse shop. Don't worry, I can rent a horse carriage."

Lin Zhuwei smiled and nodded: "Can you drive a carriage?"

"Ma'am, I will." His previous employer often went out for social events, and the driver was occasionally not available, so he had to take over.

"Well, go rent a better carriage and go buy melon seeds with Aunt Xue and the others." Lin Zhuwei said, and took out two hundred coins for renting a carriage and handed it to him.

"Madam, you don't need that much. One hundred and fifty cents will be enough."

"Take it first. You can buy some food on the way, or some horse feed for emergency use."

Upon seeing this, Amu accepted it and quickly went out to rent a carriage.

Lin Zhu only saw that the black horse had bright eyes, strong limbs, and powerful neighs. It was indeed a good horse. The semi-open shelf it was standing on seemed to have been built not long ago and was still very clean.

Lin Zhuwei didn't show any expression on her face, but she was very satisfied in her heart, thinking: Amu is indeed reliable.

Before they set off, Lin Zhuwei specifically instructed: "Amu, you are smart. If anything comes up during the acquisition process, just handle it with full authority. You don't need to report."

Amu's eyes instantly turned red, and his chest was filled with gratitude. This was the first time someone trusted him, an orphan, so much.

He looked at Lin Zhuwei and made up his mind: he would be Mrs. Ding for the rest of his life!

Lin Zhuwei didn't expect that Amu and his team only took half the time they expected to bring back a full truck of melon seeds.

In fact, they did not stop on the way there and back. They drove straight to the destination, harvested the melon seeds, and then hurried back in the carriage.

Lin Zhuwei was very satisfied, and asked Abu to lead them to unload the melons in the patio. Upon closer inspection, they found that the melons were big and round, and very juicy and tempting.

After unloading the melon seeds, Lin Zhuwei asked the three of them to rest first.

"Madam, here are the remaining fifteen taels of silver." Aunt Xue took out the remaining silver.

"This whole cart of melon seeds only cost five taels?" Lin Zhuwei was quite surprised.

"Madam, there is still one more truck." Amu took over the conversation, "I think it's still early, so let the villagers continue to pick some good seed melons and pile them on the field. After unloading this truck, Xiaoshi and I will go and bring it back. We know the way, and Aunt Xue can stay in the yard to help clean up."

What a clever one indeed!

Lin Zhuwei looked at Amu with admiration.

"Is this seed melon so cheap?" Lin Zhuwei couldn't help but ask.
