Dressing in another world to be a brother

"Don't worry, there is absolutely enough money in the family. Even if I spend it all, I still have a monthly salary of twenty shi, so I won't be able to starve my little husband."

Ji Yuzhu pretended to be calm and slapped him away.

Jiang Weiyan chuckled, grabbed his hand and leaned over to bite his blushing ear.

"What are you doing?" Ji Yuzhu broke away from his hand, covered his ears and looked around guiltily, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that they were standing by the wall, and the flow of people coming and going was blocked by mule carts.

Jiang Weiyan squeezed his hand happily, then led him around the mule cart, gave two copper coins to the servant guarding the cart, and walked into the noisy human market.

Ji Yuzhu followed behind him, looking around curiously.

This human population market is under the jurisdiction of the government, surrounded by walls, and a row of inverted houses next to the wall.Entering a large open space, several large areas are separated by fences.

There is a table in front of the fence area, and a government servant sits in front of the table.

In each fence area, there are crowds of people sitting or standing.Some are in shabby clothes, some look like servants of rich families, but they are a little bit embarrassed, and some are even well-dressed.

Thinking that these people were being bought and sold legally like livestock, Ji Yuzhu felt uncomfortable for a while.

He tugged at Jiang Weiyan's sleeve, and when he saw him turning around, he leaned over: "Where do these people come from?" His eyes scanned the surroundings impatiently.

Only then did Jiang Weiyan realize that his little husband probably had never seen such a situation.

He took his hand: "Some of these are domestic slaves of criminal officials, some may be servants who were resold by Beijing officials for reasons such as sending them abroad or returning to their hometowns, and some are selling themselves or selling their sons and daughters. Here It is under the jurisdiction of the government, and the source of the population is considered serious. There should be no people who were trafficked. But those human traffickers outside..." The meaning is self-evident.

Even so, Ji Yuzhu's mind is still somewhat difficult to accept.

Jiang Weiyan stroked his hair reassuringly: "If they stay here all the time, they will barely survive starvation. If they are bought, they may still be able to eat a full meal. If you can't bear it, treat them better after you buy them back." Bar."

"Yeah." Ji Yuzhu pursed her lips, feeling that it was a bit hypocritical to think about it from the standpoint of a buyer, "It's okay, let's continue."

Jiang Weiyan squeezed his palm, but did not let go of him, and led him towards the ragged fence.

Ji Yuzhu looked at the well-dressed fence on the other side, and asked strangely: "Don't you buy slaves? Wouldn't it be better if they were all slaves?" At least it's easier to get started, right?

"People who have been servants in a big family usually have bad habits and are not easy to discipline. Our family has a simple population, especially your simple mind. If you don't make it right, the slave will bully the master. We buy some farmers who can help with the work. It's fine."

Well, he was misled by the TV series, thinking that all servants need to be well-trained.

Jiang Weiyan thought for a while: "Well... no, I still have to go over there and have a look."

"what?"

"Embroiderers, cooks, etc., are more reliable trained by these big families."

"...How many people are you going to buy?"

"I have someone on my side for the housekeeper. For the rest, including under the stove, cleaning and laundry, doing chores, and making clothes, four first? No, we're going to build a house, so we need two more under the stove."

"..." Is he going to be turned into a rice bug?

"By the way," Jiang Weiyan turned his head, "Your private school hasn't been built yet, so you don't need to buy more people for the time being, so you don't have to buy it back and let them have a free meal."

It means that he will buy it again after his private school is built.

"..." Ji Yuzhu raised his forehead, "This private school has not been seen yet, why do you think so much?"

"What my husband wants to do, of course my husband has to help me figure it out." Jiang Weiyan raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"Get down to business."

"Eh."

The two swayed to the front of the fence, Jiang Weiyan took a closer look, pointed at the three people sitting together in the corner, and asked the yamen servant next to him: "What's the situation with these few?"

"Hey, Lord Hui," the yamen servant looked at the roster in his hand, raised his head and grinned, "this is a family from Baoding. They had a heavy rain a while ago, and the rocks collapsed, covering half of the village's fields, begging all the way I came to the capital. The capital is not easy to mess with, no, I sold myself. I stayed here for several days, but I didn’t sell it.”

Seeing that Jiang Weiyan frowned slightly, he hurriedly continued: "They are all good citizens. Those who have official collections can't sell them because their family doesn't want to be separated."

Only then did Jiang Weiyan relax his brows, and turned his head to ask Ji Yuzhu: "What do you think of these three?"

The yamen servant looked at Ji Yuzhu in surprise.

Ji Yuzhu was at a loss, and asked him in a low voice: "I don't know how to read it? Is there anything special about it?"

Jiang Weiyan cooperated with him and lowered his voice: "Look at them, they are all well-groomed. Their fingers are rough, obviously they are used to doing work on weekdays. Moreover, they are all together from begging to selling themselves." Pointing to the young man among the three who was obviously the older brother, "That older brother is pretty handsome, if his character is not good enough, he can get a lot of money if he sells him, but he has never done this, his character can be seen It won't be too bad."

Ji Yuzhu looked over intently, and there was indeed a handsome boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in the middle, and he cast a sideways glance at him: "You looked carefully..."

Jiang Weiyan blinked, raised his eyebrows and smirked when he came to his senses: "Are you jealous?" He squeezed his palm, "Don't worry, your husband has high eyesight."

Ji Yuzhu hummed softly.

"Then we choose these three?"

"It's up to you to decide, this is what you're good at." Ji Yuzhu replied honestly.

"I want you to be pleasing to the eye, after all, I will live in the same courtyard in the future."

Ji Yuzhu thought about it too, so he began to look at the three of them carefully.

It is estimated that seeing the two of them looking at them, the three of them were a little nervous.

The brother in the middle is holding his father's hand tightly, with a frightened and flustered look on his face, looking a little timid.

The man on the left circled the two of them, looking at them solemnly.

The brother on the right was a little wary at first, but when he saw Ji Yuzhu, his guard was slightly reduced, and he brought some anticipation.

Although the three people's clothes had a lot of patches, they were all dusted as smooth as possible. Except for some dust on the pants that had just been sitting on the floor, the rest were fairly clean, and their hair was also neat.

Compare it with the person next to you.Some have neat hair, but the clothes are wrinkled, and some are even covered in dust without taking a pat.Some clothes are fairly neat, but the hair is messy.There are also some who are clean all over, but they look like they are crying like the sky is falling.

It seems that Brother Yan has a good vision.

Ji Yuzhu nodded to Jiang Weiyan.

Seeing him nodding, the yamen servant hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Weiyan.

Seeing that he also agreed, Jiang Weiyan said to the yamen servant: "Just these three, how much money?"

The yamen servant was pleasantly surprised: "Do you want all of them? Not too much, not too much, 5 taels for a middle-aged man, 3 taels for a brother, and 5 taels for a younger brother. The total is 13 taels."

It's really... cheap...

Jiang Weiyan nodded.

The yamen servant hurriedly waved to the family of three.

Seeing this, the man helped Brother Fulang get up, and walked to him slowly: "My lord?"

The yamen servant opened the fence to let them out: "Thank you two masters, your family of three can continue to be together."

The implication is that all three were bought.

The three of them were surprised for a moment. The man thanked him first, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know what the two masters want our family to do? Our family is good people, me, my brother and my husband Lang doesn't do that kind of pickling."

Ji Yuzhu suddenly felt that these three people were even better: "Don't worry, we are just looking for a few servants to do some housework."

Hearing this, the man looked at Jiang Weiyan with some hesitation.

Jiang Weiyan waved his hand: "It depends on what I do, my husband has the final say." After finishing speaking, he looked back at Ji Yuzhu with a half-smile, and got a supercilious look.

Hearing that this is a couple, the man was immediately relieved.

Jiang Weiyan handed over the money and exchanged for the contract of sale of the three of them back. He turned around and looked at the three of them: "Tell me about your name, and you will order something."

The man responded happily: "Master, my name is Fang Dazhi. I, I, I know how to farm." After finishing speaking, remembering that the rich family does not need servants who farm the land, he hurriedly continued to whisper: "I am strong. big."

Ji Yuzhu comforted him: "It's good, it's good, it's up to you to move around the house in the future."

Jiang Weiyan protested displeasedly: "I am also very strong, why do I rely on him?"

Ji Yuzhu rolled his eyes at him, motioned to his brother and said, "This brother, how about you?"

That brother looked at Jiang Weiyan uneasily, and then said softly, "I, Master Hui, I, my name is Chen Yi, I can cook some home-cooked meals, and I can sew."

Ji Yuzhu nodded and turned to the little brother.

The brother next to him saw Ji Yuzhu looking over, and said eagerly: "I, my name is Fang Xiaoan, I, I..." For a long time, I couldn't remember what I would do, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry.

Seeing this, Chen Yi who was beside him hurriedly said, "We, Xiaoan, can read."

Ji Yuzhu was surprised: "literate?"

Fang Dazhi nodded proudly: "Our Xiaoan is very good at reading." His face darkened, "If it wasn't for the damn heavy rain..."

Chen Yi and Fang Xiaoan were a little sad when they heard the words.

Ji Yuzhu patted Fang Xiaoan on the head: "It's okay, follow me and continue studying."

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoan looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Weiyan pulled back his hand and held it for himself, and said to the three of them indifferently: "Our family has a small population, and there are only two of us for the time being. From now on, we will call me Master, this is my husband, and you will call Langjun." After a pause, "We still have to buy some more people, you follow for now."

The three nodded hurriedly.

Next, Jiang Weiyan ran to the slave area, and picked a chunky cook, Zhang Chong, and two young handymen Zeng Fu and Xu Wenshan who used to work in the kitchen.All three are men.

These three people will be responsible for Chen Qing's three meals for the time being, and when they start building a house in the future, they will also make work meals for a large number of people.

In addition, two embroiderers in their early 20s came from the same master's family. In the past, the master's family ransacked their homes before they had time to marry them.

Ji Yuzhu grabbed his sleeve: "Don't buy any more, are there enough people?"

Jiang Weiyan thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded.

Those who are a bit skilled, the embroiderers are more expensive, they are all 12 taels, the cooks are 10 taels, and the handymen are 8 taels each, plus the previous family of three, it is only 63 taels of silver.

Ji Yuzhu sighed inwardly.

Jiang Weiyan went to the side and hired a big donkey cart, and loaded them all into the cart at once.

Ji Yuzhu thought that he could imitate modern uniforms, and that uniformed attire would make him look more neat and tidy, so he pulled Jiang Weiyan and led a group of people straight to the cloth shop. Each of them bought a gray cotton suit for the time being, and picked out a pile of dark gray clothes. , brown and other more stain-resistant cotton cloth, go back and let Xiu Niang and Chen Yi make uniforms together.

Well, you can think of a unique logo and add it.

Taking advantage of Ji Yuzhu's mind-wandering, Jiang Weiyan secretly stuffed several bolts of brightly colored and high-quality fabrics into the cotton cloth, preparing to go back and ask the embroiderer to make some beautiful clothes for Ji Ge'er.

The brightly colored fabric couldn't have been more noticeable mixed in with a batch of beige cotton.

Ji Yuzhu looked at Jiang Weiyan with dead fish eyes.

"Ahem," Jiang Weiyan looked left and right, "My husband's clothes are all worn out, what's wrong with me buying a few pieces of cloth?" The more he thought about it, the more confident he became, "What's wrong with me buying cloth clothes for my husband?"

Ji Yuzhu held his forehead, and didn't bother to talk to him, so he pulled out the pink, peach, and crimson cloths, threw them back on the cloth rack, and replaced them with navy blue, indigo, and crescent white.

Jiang Weiyan pouted.
