After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 22 The Xiao family buys someone
Mingjia only cares about one question now: "Then shall I wear men's clothing or women's clothing in the future?" Okay! She likes to wear men's clothes. There were too many shackles on women in ancient times.
"Of course it's women's clothing. The household registration was a mistake, unintentional." Xiao Qingshan quickly told his daughter. "Okay, let's discuss what we should do in the capital, shall we?"
Mingjia secretly looked at his brother Mingjun, and Mingjun immediately took out a folded piece of paper from his wallet, with what he and his sister had agreed to do written on it. Don't ask, it's just a matter of discussion.
The book store, cloth store, embroidery store, and grain store also went to Jilou to eat. Xiao Qingshan laughed. These were the places he took his brother and sister to when they were attending the New Year's Fair in Qingyun County. Maybe they don't know where else there is in the city.
Mingjia thought for a while and decided that he couldn't miss the capital: "Dad, please take us to the human market." After finishing speaking, Mingjun asked his sister: "What is the human market?" Mingjia glanced at his brother: "A market where people are bought and sold. .”
Even after explaining, Mingjun still looked confused. Mrs. Dong also looked at her youngest daughter in confusion. She frowned a little, feeling that her little daughter was becoming more and more disobedient.
"I heard from other businessmen on the road that there is a market in the capital. They can buy people. They also said that a high-ranking official's house was confiscated recently and they wanted to buy a few servants from a big family. I think we can buy a mother-in-law to help my mother-in-law. It’s a lot of work, and those mothers-in-law who have served women from big families will definitely be able to take good care of their mothers.”
Ms. Dong was instantly moved. She had neglected her daughter these past few days. My daughter was so considerate and I quickly hugged my daughter. To put it bluntly, she can take care of herself and her family.
Ming Jia looked at her father. If she had anything to say, the mothers-in-law of big families were strictly trained and knew the rules. If they were around the mistress, they would have more experience and could give her mother a lot of advice.
If there is any problem with a concubine visiting, the mother-in-law can solve it. If you are lucky and meet someone who knows how to take care of your body, even better. After all, she doesn't know how to talk about these things and is not suitable to talk to her mother.
Even as she grows up, she needs her mother's "teaching". However, Xiao Qingshan only heard the words that he could take good care of his wife, and nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go buy it tomorrow."
Early the next morning, the family walked around the capital together. It was not convenient for Cheng Si and the others to show up, so they stayed at the inn to look after their luggage. There happened to be a grain store next to the inn, and Mingjun and Mingjia were like two naughty children, asking for the price one by one.
In fact, Mingjia was disappointed. The grain stores in the capital only bought these kinds of grains, and there was no increase. So, it's still very simple. Qingyun County's black noodles have 8 characters and fine noodles have 12 characters, and Beijing's black noodles have 12 characters and fine noodles have 15 characters.
its not right! Black noodles have increased by 50%, while refined noodles have only increased by 25%. Will people's lives become more difficult? Mingjia did the math in her mind and couldn't figure it out. She hadn't studied economics either, so she didn't understand. But she wrote them all down carefully.
After leaving the grain store, the family went straight to the market. Xiao Qingshan found a man who looked more honest and honest, and expressed that he wanted to buy a mother-in-law who had some rules and preferably had skills.
Renyazi has seen many buyers and understands the needs at a glance. He led people to the backyard. There were many people waiting to be selected in the backyard, but most of them were middle-aged people. Several side rooms were locked. It was estimated that the younger and more valuable people were in the rooms.
After walking across a courtyard, Yaozi stopped and shouted, a woman came out who seemed to be in charge of things here, "Mother Xu, please pick two women with good manners, let me and my wife choose."
Mother Xu responded, went into the house and ordered a few women to come out. The choice of servants was originally supposed to be the mistress Dong's, but now her face was pale, fearing that she suddenly remembered bad memories.
Xiao Qingshan looked at his wife's appearance, quickly put down his daughter, and supported his wife: "Zhenniang, what's wrong with you? It's okay, we will all buy people from now on."
Ming Jia looked at her parents and probably couldn't care less about herself for the moment. So she took a few steps forward and came to the ladies. There are 5 mothers-in-law in total. In order for my mother to be more comfortable socializing with other official wives in the future, this mother-in-law must choose a good one.
"Who has served in an official residence before?" The five wives have all served in official residences and are accustomed to serving their masters. My eyes are poisonous. I am used to seeing good things and my heart is big.
Seeing this little girl, she was only dressed a little better than ordinary people in the capital, and even worse than the second-class maids in the original mansion. Two women already showed contempt.
"Have you ever served the lady?" Mingjia didn't even know what the ladies were called in this dynasty. She was so lacking in information that she urgently needed someone who understood this.
After asking, Mingjia focused on the other three women. The three women all shook their heads, and Mingjia was a little disappointed. Ming Jia didn't know that generally those who were personally served by their masters would not live among the people and be bought and sold, even if their homes were confiscated and exiled.
Mingjia turned back to her parents and saw that her mother's face was still a little pale. He said directly: "Dad, Mom, these two are not suitable, let's find another one."
As soon as he heard that he was about to leave, Xu's mother quickly stepped forward to stop him. It has been 7 years since the founding of the dynasty, and all the servants in the noble houses in Beijing have been replenished. Even the new ones are just little girls who have been slowly cultivated in the house.
These mature women are not easy to sell. Nowadays, it is rare for customers to come to the door. How can they let it go easily? Mother Xu shouted that there were still others in the house, so she moved closer to Mrs. Dong. How could an ignorant little girl pick people? !
Xiao Qingshan raised his hand to stop Xu's mother and glanced at his youngest daughter: "My daughter must like people when I choose someone." Xu's mother is indeed an experienced servant. She turned around and squatted down towards Ming Jia: "This lady, I want to Tell me what you want, and I will go to the house and give you some help."
Mingjia thought for a while: "You know the rules and don't have such a big heart. My family is an ordinary family. It's best to be single. We are going to other places." When Xu's mother heard this, the girl's conditions for selecting people were not harsh, and they were very good. Rules and regulations.
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment." He stood up and greeted the five women in front of him. Dong had already gotten used to it and asked Mingjia why it was inappropriate. Mingjia thought for a moment: "They think I'm not well-dressed and look down on me."
Only now did Dong notice the family's clothes. These were the clothes she bought during a short stay in Qingzhou City. They were all good in terms of style and material.
But if you get to the capital, you won’t see enough. Ms. Dong recalled that during this period, she was always thinking about things and didn't even notice buying clothes for her family. She felt very guilty.
The people Xu’s mother brought out this time were obviously better. Their clothes were 6% to 7% new, very clean, and their hair was combed perfectly. He walked over without looking around, and he didn't show any emotion when he saw the Xiao family.
This time Mingjia didn't need to ask questions, Xu's mother asked the women to introduce themselves. There are still 5 mothers-in-law, all of them came from official families, 2 were sold out by their masters, and 3 were because the original masters had their homes confiscated or were exiled.
