The husband who crosses is so good

"Daughter-in-law." Ye Chengxiao called out as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Lu Yu turned over and faced Ye Chengxiao face to face: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Ye Chengxiao moved a little in and hugged Lu Yu. When Lu Yu thought he was going to do something, Ye Chengxiao said again: "I can't make jam at home when I'm building a house. What should we do? You and mother must be too busy."

Lu Yu opened his eyes wide and thought for a while before saying, "Then what should I do? I haven't figured out a way either."

Ye Chengxiao tentatively asked, "How about we go buy a few people and come back to help make jam?"

"Ah?" Lu Yu was a little shocked: "Brother Xiao, are you sure we are going to buy someone now?"

"I can't think of a better way." Ye Chengxiao looked at Lu Yu and nodded seriously.

Lu Yu looked away and meditated alone. Ye Chengxiao didn't bother him when he saw him like this. Buying people will have to be done sooner or later, because even if they don't buy now, they will still have to buy people back after they build the workshop. .

It took a while before Lu Yu looked at Ye Chengxiao and nodded lightly: "Then buy it."

"Have you decided to buy a few?" Ye Chengxiao asked again.

Lu Yu nodded: "Let's buy three first. Is that okay?"

Ye Chengxiao thought for a while before nodding: "Sure, when I go to the county seat, I'll buy him back by the way."

"Bought a death contract." Lu Yu asked softly, "And where will they live when they come back?"

Ye Chengxiao replied: "Let them huddle together in one room first, and tomorrow I will ask Ye Xu's father to help us make another bed."

"That's fine." Lu Yu smiled: "But let's buy three men first, otherwise it is impossible for men and women to live in the same room."

"I understand." Ye Chengxiao leaned over and kissed the tip of Lu Yu's nose before continuing, "Any questions?"

Lu Yu felt that the tip of the nose kissed by Ye Chengxiao was itchy and hot. After touching it with his hand, he pretended to be nonchalant and continued to speak: "There is no requirement. You just need to be smart, but you have to be honest."

"Well, I will choose carefully." Ye Chengxiao nodded.

Lu Yu suddenly thought of a very serious problem. He grabbed Ye Chengxiao's arm and asked, "Is the money enough? Three people need a lot of money, right?"

Ye Chengxiao patted his head helplessly, then shook his head and said: "No need, I asked Ruiran, and Ruiran said that it is not expensive to buy someone, especially a dead contract."

"Not expensive means roughly how much money is needed?" Lu Yu felt that he didn't quite understand the meaning of not expensive. Is human life really so worthless?

"It's about 200 taels for three people." Ye Chengxiao replied: "Some of them can be bought for only 40 taels."

Lu Yu suddenly felt a little emotional: "Human life is really worthless."

"Although we can't change it." Ye Chengxiao could only comfort Lu Yu like this: "But we can treat them better."

"Yeah." Lu Yu smiled at Ye Chengxiao: "I won't let them regret being bought by our family."

"Go to sleep." Ye Chengxiao whispered, kissing Lu Yu's shining eyes.

Lu Yu slapped Ye Chengxiao forcefully in the face, and then said, "Brother Xiao, good night."

"Good night." Ye Chengxiao hugged Lu Yu tightly.

..............................

After being busy for another two days like this, Ye Juan and Ye Rou became more and more comfortable in calculating money and making accounts, especially Ye Rou, although she was the youngest, but her talent was the best, taught by Lu Yu She is the quickest to absorb and learn the things given to them, and after these few days of training, Ye Rou's personality has also changed somewhat, she is no longer too shy to speak when she sees people, but she Still wearing a veil as always.

Ye Meng also studied with Ye Ruan and Ye Juan these days, but her talent is not as good as theirs, so she has to work harder to digest and absorb these novel things.

So in the past two days, Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao have completely focused on making jam. Lu Yu plans to hand over simple, large-volume hawthorn jam and ginkgo jam to them at relatively cheap prices after the buyer comes back. They will make it, but Lu Yu and Ye Su's are responsible for the more expensive osmanthus pear jam and kiwi fruit jam. In addition, the quantity of these kinds of jams is not large, so Lu Yu and Ye Su's can come here , and even freer than before, without having to stay in the kitchen all day making jam.

Lu Yu told Ye Su all these ideas, and Ye Su was very calm about the family's purchase. She seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and she was happy that they only needed to make two kinds of jam in the future. become.

Later, Lu Yu mentioned Ye Su's reaction to Ye Chengxiao, and Ye Chengxiao explained to Lu Yu that in fact, his idea of ​​buying someone was only remembered through Ye Su's suggestion. It is more certain that Ye Chengxiao's true identity is definitely not simple.

They didn't realize it was really not easy until they knew it later.

Ye Chengxiao asked Ye Hansheng to borrow an ox cart to go to the county seat alone today, and he set off before dawn, thinking that he could settle the matter early and return home this afternoon.

Originally, Ye Chengxiao wanted to invite Wang Yankun to go to the county together, because with Wang Yankun's elusive background, Ye Chengxiao felt that Wang Yankun should have a better eye for people than Hu County Magistrate's master, and it is better to trouble Wang Yankun than to trouble Master of County Magistrate Hu.But unfortunately, Ye Chengxiao went to Wang Yankun's house yesterday and found that no one was there, neither was Baozi. I don't know if they went up the mountain together or went out.

So Ye Chengxiao drove an ox cart and set off to the county seat.

At noon, the bed that Ye Xu and his family were asked to make was ready and sent over. Ye Su cleaned up the only vacant room again, and prepared the things that should be prepared.However, clothes and shoes were not prepared. Ye Su’s ordered Ye Chengxiao to buy these things directly in the county town before Ye Chengxiao left the house. They were bought from the county together.

As soon as Ye Chengxiao arrived at the county seat, he went straight to the side door of the county government office. The gatekeeper had long remembered Ye Chengxiao, and when he saw him coming, he wanted to go in and report to County Magistrate Hu, but Ye Chengxiao stopped him. Cheng Xiao told him that all he had to do was ask the master to come out.After speaking, he handed him some broken silver.

The concierge was even more delighted when he received the broken silver from Ye Chengxiao, and ran to ask the master to come out.

"Master Ye, I heard that you are looking for me?" The master greeted Ye Chengxiao with a smile on his face as soon as he came out.

Ye Chengxiao hurriedly said to Master: "I'm not some Mr. Ye, Master, just call me Cheng Xiao."

"Alright, then I'll call you Brother Chengxiao." The master smiled and nodded.

Ye Chengxiao nodded and smiled, and took out a few baskets and jars of jam from the bullock cart and gave them to the master.

"This is some kindness that my husband and I brought to you and the county magistrate." Ye Chengxiao smiled and handed it over: "You don't want to refuse."

The master's smile became even more sincere: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you, brother Chengxiao."

Ye Chengxiao shook his head: "Master, you're welcome." Afterwards, his face seemed to be troubled, hesitant to speak, and when the master saw Ye Chengxiao's appearance, there was something he didn't understand, so he asked immediately : "Brother Cheng Xiao came to see me for something? You tell me, I will help if I can."

Ye Chengxiao shook his head slightly, and said with some distress: "I just want to buy a few people back, but I'm not very familiar with them in the county, and I don't have a good eye for people."

When the master heard it, he immediately said straightforwardly: "What's the matter, I'll take you there right away. As for picking someone, I have lived most of my life, master, and I think I have a good eye. If you don't mind, I can help you." pick."

"If you don't dislike it, why would you dislike it?" Ye Chengxiao quickly waved his hand: "I'm so happy that it's too late. It's great that Master is willing to help."

"It's a trivial matter." The master happily stroked his beard: "Then let's go now?"

"Okay." Ye Chengxiao nodded with a smile: "Master, please."

…………

"Master Zeng? I just heard people say that you are here. I thought they were lying to me, but I didn't expect that it was you." compliment.

Master Zeng smiled back, and didn't exchange greetings with him, and directly stated his intention: "I'm here on business, my brother wants to buy three guys, can you introduce him?"

The steward turned his attention to Ye Chengxiao after hearing Master Zeng's words. Ye Chengxiao was dressed plainly, but his temperament and aura were not weak at all, so the steward couldn't be sure for a while whether Ye Chengxiao was What status, but Ye Chengxiao was brought here by Master Zeng, even if he was a farmer, the manager would not dare to offend him.

The steward quickly smiled at Ye Chengxiao: "May I ask what kind of person this young master wants?"

Ye Chengxiao replied: "You need to be smart and not too old, but you need to be strong, and you must be honest and reliable."

"Okay." The manager smiled and nodded: "I'll take you to have a look."

"This batch is of the best quality in our area. Young master, can you see if there are any suitable ones?" The steward said immediately after arriving at the place.

Ye Chengxiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard what he said, but he couldn't say anything. What he thought was that it was lucky that he didn't bring Lu Yu here. He didn't want Lu Yu to hear these words.

Of course Ye Chengxiao wanted to make a quick decision, he looked at Master Zeng, Master Zeng nodded, and then concentrated on observing the slaves standing a few feet away from them.

After a long time, Master Zeng said: "The fifth and seventh from the left in the first row and the second from the right in the third row, the three of them can."

As soon as the manager heard Master Zeng's words, he gestured with his eyes to bring him to Ye Chengxiao.

When they approached Ye Chengxiao, Ye Chengxiao began to observe them seriously. I have to say that Master Zeng's vision is very good. There is no lifelessness in the eyes of these people, even resentment and dissatisfaction, etc. Not at all, to Ye Chengxiao's surprise, the faces of these people are relatively calm and calm, but there is a flash of aura in their eyes, which is really surprising.

Master Zeng also saw Ye Chengxiao's reaction, he said with a smile: "Today is really a good time."

Ye Chengxiao nodded in agreement, and did not forget to praise Master Zeng when he spoke: "It is Cheng Xiao who entrusted Master with blessings."

"Haha, that's not my blessing." Master Zeng said so, but the smile on his face was indeed more cheerful and satisfied.

"Then we need three of them." Ye Chengxiao asked the manager: "How much money do you need for three?"

The person in charge looked at Master Zeng, but Master Zeng didn't even give him his eyes, so the person in charge had to make up his own mind, he endured the pain and said to Ye Chengxiao: "Three will cost 100 taels."

"100 taels?" Ye Chengxiao was very surprised.

But the steward did misunderstand, and he stared at Ye Chengxiao with wide eyes: "Is it very expensive? Then... then 90 taels, really can't be less."

Ye Chengxiao: "..." I didn't react because I thought it was too cheap.

Ye Chengxiao looked at Master Zeng, Master Zeng nodded slightly: "As much as he says."

Ye Chengxiao was helpless, but he still nodded and agreed, and then Ye Chengxiao glanced at the manager from the corner of his eye, and he felt that he saw the despair in his eyes.

After negotiating the price, the person in charge signaled for someone to take the three slaves down to wash and clean them before handing them over to Ye Chengxiao. Of course, if Master Zeng hadn't brought Ye Chengxiao here today, there would definitely not be such a thing. The clean up treat is it.

Ye Chengxiao was a little more grateful to Master Zeng, thinking that the New Year's gift should be a little heavier.

Ye Chengxiao went through the formalities with the manager to hand over the money. Although the manager finally said 90 taels, Ye Chengxiao still gave him 100 taels, and the manager gave Ye Chengxiao an extremely complicated look.Ye Chengxiao pretended not to see anything.

"Then I'm going back to the yamen?" Master Zeng said to Ye Chengxiao as soon as he left the place.

Ye Chengxiao asked to stay: "I still want to invite Master to lunch, Master, why don't you leave after lunch?"

Master Zeng smiled and shook his head: "No, let's talk about it next time you come. I know you are very busy, so I won't bother you."

Ye Chengxiao also understood that Master Zeng saw that it was inconvenient for him to bring a few slaves, so he could only nod his head: "Okay, master, go slowly, and please master to say hello to the county magistrate for me."

Master Zeng nodded and left.

Ye Chengxiao watched Master Zeng's back going farther and farther until he couldn't see him at all, then Ye Chengxiao turned back to look at the slaves, and said, "I'll take you to buy some clothes first, and then go Buy something to eat."

The slaves didn't answer either, and followed Ye Chengxiao obediently.

Ye Chengxiao took them to buy three sets of clothes, but two were made of linen and one was made of cotton.I also bought two pairs of shoes.

Then Ye Chengxiao took them to eat noodles. I wondered if they were very hungry. Seeing them, Ye Chengxiao ate up a bowl of noodles and the soup in the bowl. They each ordered a bowl, and Ye Chengxiao didn't stop until they ordered the third bowl.Because he suddenly remembered that Lu Yu told him that if a person is very hungry, he should not eat too much at once. He didn't know if three bowls of noodles were too much, but he still stopped and didn't eat any more. Clicked.

The few slaves didn't say anything. When they didn't understand what the master meant, they didn't say anything. The best way was to be quiet and obedient, otherwise they might be sent back by the master if they were not careful.

Ye Chengxiao didn't expect them to talk to him either.Ye Chengxiao took them to buy the rest of the things that should be bought, and then put the things in the bullock cart.He asked the three slaves to wait for him at the ox cart storage. He was going to do some business and would be back soon.

They nodded obediently, and stood straight beside the bullock cart, motionless.Ye Chengxiao was a little helpless: "You can sit and wait for me." They sat down immediately.

Ye Chengxiao shook his head and left. He didn't have to worry about them running away, because they didn't even have a guide, so they couldn't get out of the county towns. If they were discovered, they would be exiled directly, so no one would think escape.

In the morning, Ye Chengxiao asked Master Zeng about where the better Zi people in the county probably lived.Ye Chengxiao soon came to Zi Ren's residence introduced by Master Zeng, and after they chatted for a while, Ye Chengxiao told him the purpose of coming, and also told him the request to build a house.

As soon as the man from Zi heard that Ye Chengxiao was introduced by Master Zeng, he thought that he would definitely agree to the business, and was even more delighted when he heard that Ye Chengxiao not only wanted to build a house, but also a workshop. Nod in agreement.

This Zi man was surnamed Chen. After he heard that Ye Chengxiao’s family lived in Yejia Village, he told Ye Chengxiao that if Ye Chengxiao could trust him, he would be able to provide all the manpower and material resources needed to build the house and workshop. If you help get it done in the county, you don't need Ye Chengxiao to run back and forth, and then Ye Chengxiao just needs to stay at home and keep an eye on the progress.

The reason why Chen Ziren said this was because Ye Chengxiao was introduced by Master Zeng, and from what Ye Chengxiao expressed, he knew that he should not be short of money, and would not treat him badly, so he just came here. It doesn't take much to push the boat along the way.

Hearing what he said, Ye Chengxiao said that he was not relieved, it would be a lie, he felt that it was definitely the right thing to look for Master Zeng today, but he owed Master Zeng a little more favor, and he also Without much hesitation, he agreed to Chen Ziren's proposal. As for whether Chen Ziren would do something in private, it is absolutely impossible. Even Ye Chengxiao can't trust Chen Ziren, but Chen Ziren can also trust Master Zeng, and he also believes that Chen Ziren will never dare Perfunctory the person introduced by Master Zeng.

In a privileged society, even a small master, as an ordinary person, would not be able to offend him, nor would he think about it.

Chen Ziren promised Ye Chengxiao that he would arrive at Yejia Village tomorrow, Ye Chengxiao thanked Chen Ziren and left contentedly.

Ye Chengxiao quickly returned to the ox cart storage place, carrying a lot of shopping and three slaves, and started to go home.

The three slaves looked at each other, wondering why the master was in such a good mood?

Although Ye Chengxiao's expression remained unchanged, they were all servants of rich families in the past, and none of them were sold by their masters, and most of them were implicated and sold because their previous masters committed crimes. So they have been working in big families since they were young, so shouldn't they be watching their words?
