Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

A trace of bitterness and helplessness flashed across the man's eyes. He recounted his experience in a low voice: "My master was framed by a villain and his mansion was raided. My wife blamed me for not protecting the master and was worried that I would be dissatisfied because I missed my old master, so she sold me here. I used to be the master's personal bodyguard. Although I am not as good as a martial arts master, I am proficient in martial arts and am qualified to be a guard."

Zhang Ming, who was standing by, saw this and quickly grabbed Xiao Youniang's sleeve, whispering, "This man seems unwilling to give up and is sentimental. If we buy him back, his loyalty is hard to guarantee. Moreover, if his martial arts are as strong as he said, if something unexpected happens one day, won't we be powerless to resist?"

His analysis is so calm and thorough that one has to seriously consider the risks involved.

After hearing what her brother said, Xiao Youniang nodded thoughtfully, then turned to the trafficker and expressed her willingness to buy the house in a clear voice: "We have decided to buy the family of three, including the aunt and the two clever little girls. How much silver do we need in total?"

Hearing this, the trafficker smiled and rubbed his hands together to start calculating: "For that family of three, I will give you 25 taels of silver. The aunt is strong and efficient, so she will get 8 taels of silver. As for the two girls, one is smart and lively, and the other is well-behaved and cute, so they will get a total of 22 taels of silver. And for the fat girl, your father has already agreed on 5 taels of silver. All together, the total is 60 taels of silver."

When Zhang Laoer heard the price quoted by the human trafficker, he knew in his heart that there was a lot of water in it.

He showed the appearance of a shrewd businessman and said firmly: "Fifty taels of silver, no more. You see, the child is only six years old and can hardly help in any way; as for the fat girl, the price should be even lower."

When the trafficker heard this, he quickly argued, his tone showing a bit of urgency: "Master, sixty taels is already my lowest price. If it's any lower, I won't make any profit."

However, Zhang Laoer didn't buy it.

Seeing that the human trafficker refused to give in, he pretended to turn around and leave, and deliberately pulled Xu Liyun out: "With such a high price, it's better to go to Fuyuan Dental Clinic. Although there may be fewer people there, it doesn't matter, just buy a few less."

Seeing this, the trafficker panicked and quickly stopped them, saying with a smile, "Master, don't be impatient! Fifty-eight taels, this is my lowest limit."

Zhang Laoer shook his head, looking a little disappointed. "You bargain like this, it doesn't seem like you are sincere in doing business. Forget it, we won't buy it."

As he said this, he pretended to leave, appearing quite determined.

After a fierce verbal battle, the two sides finally reached a deal for fifty-three taels of silver.

Zhang Laoer paid the money readily, and the human trafficker handed over the contract of sale respectfully.

Due to the large number of people who purchased the goods, the originally spacious carriage could not accommodate all of them at once.

Xu Liyun made a prompt decision and asked Zhang Laoer to take some of the newly purchased servants back home first, while they went to Jinxiu Pavilion to handle other matters, and then came back to pick up the remaining servants after they were done.

Zhang Laoer found that even if he only took seven people, the space in the carriage was still extremely crowded.

So he first arranged for the family of three and the cook to get on the bus to ensure that they could have a more comfortable journey.

After returning to Wuli Village, Zhang Laoer asked Aunt Guo to lead the new servants to familiarize themselves with the living environment. After feeding the family's loyal old horse Xiaohei enough food and water, everyone set out on the journey to Baiyun County.

Soon after arriving home, Xu Liyun noticed that Zhang Laoer looked tired, so she thoughtfully brought out a chair for him to sit down and rest for a while, and also handed him a cup of warm water: "Hey, your wife still cares about you."

Zhang Laoer felt a warm feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Xu Liyun's eyes gently swept over the three new girls, and she asked softly and kindly, "Children, can you tell me your names and ages?"

The chubby girl was the first to break the silence, her voice a little shy and nervous: "Madam, my name is Rongrong, and I am fourteen years old."

Then, another girl with a pretty face and a voice as clear as morning dewdrops spoke up: "My name is Xiaohua, and I am already sixteen years old."

Finally, a girl who looked a little shy but with a curious look in her eyes whispered, "My name is Xiaoyue, and I'm also fourteen years old."

At this time, Xiao Youniang, who was walking from the side yard, overheard this conversation and laughed secretly in her heart, thinking that the names of the ancients were really casual and cute, and too simple.

"Would you like me to rename you to make them sound more elegant?"

She suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The three girls looked at each other, and then said in unison, their voices full of longing and expectation for their future names: "Yes, we are all willing to accept the name given by the Second Miss."

The little girl gently combed her black braids and quickly thought of something in her mind.

She thought of the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, who always accompanied the heroines in the novels. Although there were only three of them now, she immediately thought of the existence of Xiaoqiu at home. In this way, the four seasons were complete, and everything seemed to be arranged by fate.

She walked up to Rongrong with light steps and announced with a smile: "You are plump and lovely, why not call me Xia Yue? This name is both festive and full of vitality."

"Xia Yue...what a pleasant and auspicious name. Thank you for the gift, Second Miss."

After hearing this, Rongrong's heart was filled with joy, a happy smile bloomed on her face, and the light in her eyes was brighter than ever.

"As for you," Xiao Youniang's eyes gently turned to the girl on the other side. The girl's temperament was like a lotus quietly blooming in the summer night, not fighting or competing, and extremely gentle. "Your temperament is as gentle as a lotus. The name 'Chunhua' is simply tailor-made for you. It couldn't be more suitable."

Finally, she slowly walked to Xiaoyue with a cautious look in her eyes. After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have made an important decision, "Qiuju, it's you. You have a strong character and are not afraid of the cold, just like the plum blossoms that still stand proudly in the cold wind. They have their own unique beauty."

Xu Liyun originally planned to lead them directly to the front hall to learn about the art of buying and selling clothes, but when she noticed that they were still wearing patched coarse cloth, she felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and changed her mind temporarily.

She remembered how she had taught Fangfang and Xiaotao step by step, and decided to start from the basics, first teaching them how to touch the hearts of customers with appropriate words, as well as various subtle business skills.
