Buying a bookmaker

Li Jinhu still did not know about men and women. He only heard that when a couple gets married and sleeps in the same room, there will be a baby. His sister-in-law and sister had already done it this morning.

"So, if you don't understand, you need to read more."

Li Weiyue opened her mouth, but found that the explanation was absurd, so she had to change the subject, "Jinhu, what kind of bookkeeper do you want?"

"I haven't thought of that either, just think of the pleasing one."

Li Jinhu touched his chin, pretending to think.

"Actually...You can't judge people by their looks."

Li Weiyue rubbed her forehead with a headache. He always felt that he was uneducated, and his younger brother might tend to become crooked, and become a person who likes to control the face. It all does not depend on its appearance.

"Jie, I know all about that."

Li Jinhu blinked, and pointed to the front of the carriage. Even though his brother-in-law is ugly, he can perform martial arts, cook, hunt, and unlock.

"It's okay to rob the house."

There should always be thieves on TV, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, especially with a sense of prohibition. Li Weiyue regretted one thing, her time was limited, she did not have time to slaughter some of master Qin's shops.

Xiao Lingchuan heard the conversation between the brothers was about to fall, so he brought his wife to rob once, and he became addicted, what will happen in the future? Could it be that he wanted to change his career and look for a mountain to occupy that mountain as a king?

After being delayed at Li's house, it was already noon when the group arrived in the city.

Xiao Lingchuan planned to enter Lucheng before dark, and if he wanted to buy a bookkeeper, he might have to delay for an entire day.

"Jie, mom bought our yard from Huangji's store in town."

After listening to an introduction from someone, Niang Ruan went to Huangji's shop. Huangji store has been operating for more than 20 years. They have a good reputation and a strong family. And never heard of criminal records for fraud.

"Huang."

Xiao Lingchuan had heard little that Huangji was the equivalent of a modern intermediary, buying and selling houses, fields, and populations, and they trained small maids for large families, with a wide variety of businesses.

The people of the north are very strong and tall, and they like the soft and beautiful women of the south the most. The rich entrust Huangji shop. If lucky, they can also buy horses that have been trained.

The three of them went straight to Huangji's shop, and the clerk was embarrassed to hear that they were here to buy a bookkeeper.

"Madam is small, a bookkeeper should be able to read and write. They were all poor families who came to sell children, and they couldn't read."

The man was eager to take over the business, but no one met the requirements. Unlike finding a maid to work at home, she only needed to find someone strong.

"I think it's better to buy a little waitress?"

There were some young maids who could read and write in Huangji's shop, and they would sell them to wealthy families to serve the women. As long as they could afford the price, they would sell it to anyone.

"Not good, not good."

Li Weiyue thought for a moment and asked her friend, "The best thing is to be around twelve or thirteen years old. Do you have it? It doesn't matter whether he can read or not."

"Yes." Yeah."

The clerk scratched his head, thinking that the Shopkeeper had said that they should do business cleanly and not make black money, so he said reluctantly, "You guys definitely don't like it."

"Oh? Is there something wrong with her body?"

No one is born learned, as long as they are not stupid, obedient, and loyal, everything can be cultivated.

"No, it's definitely not there."

The attendant waved his hand repeatedly, and at a glance he could tell if something was wrong with him. Previously, there was one person but it was returned after three days of purchase.

"Then take us for a look, just in case we fall in love."

Li Weiyue insisted, so the officer took them to the backyard, and saw a burly boy in rough clothes cutting firewood.

"That's right, that's it."

Li Weiyue asked her younger brother's opinion, and Li Jinhu nodded. After all, he had only brought someone to accompany him. When she was tired of studying, she could talk to him, and he would just go home and help get the message across.

"Little lady, you should think about it."

According to the officer, the person who cut the firewood was named Chen Ergou. His parents died young, and his uncles and aunts were unable to take care of him because he ate too much, so they sold him to Huangji's shop and signed death contracts.

Instead of Aunt Chen Ergou being cruel, the extended family also had difficulties, her uncle broke his leg and had to take medicine every day, and her aunt only depended on the wages of washing in the city to support the entire family, it wasn't easy.

There is no strong workforce in the family, and some people still have to eat. Chen Ergou never felt enough every time he ate. Her aunt was forced, and had no choice but to come to the door for help.

"He was only twelve years old, and he was unable to find a job in the city. Her aunt begged us not to sell her body for money, but to find her a family with enough food."

The shopkeeper wanted to give the money, but aunt Chen Ergou refused, saying that she had no face to take the money for her nephew's ransom. When he was free, he would occasionally send some snacks that he had saved to visit this niece of his.

Every family has scriptures that are hard to read. Just because Chen Ergou's uncle and aunt betrayed him, it couldn't be said that the other party was ruthless. Sometimes the intent is very good.

Chen Ergou also knew that he could work hard every day, but he ate very much. He alone was about the same as the amount of food for four or five people.

"He's been sold once before, and in three days, the other party sent him back."

The man could not laugh or cry, he still remembered the crying expression on the man's face, eating ten steamed buns in one meal, who could bear it!

"Well, it's too much to eat, but my family doesn't lack that little food."

Li Weiyue was embarrassed, and regretted not evacuating Master Qin's warehouse. They lived in the mountains, and the grounds could only grow yams, potatoes, and nuts and they still relied on the shops to buy food.

There were many buckets of rice in the family, so he considered buying the fields, and then renting out the fields in exchange for food rations each year.

"Chen Ergou, his name is too harsh."

Lushan Academy was full of gentle people, and they were easy to laugh at if they were rude. He turned to look at Li Jinhu, "You gave Ergou a new name."

"You really want me?"

Chen Ergou could not believe it. It was said that after being sold, he could have monthly silver. She knew that her aunt left all the delicious food for her. If he had the money, he would buy medicine for his uncle to treat his leg wounds, but also to buy good food for his sisters.

"You can be my bookkeeper, and you will be called Tong Sixi from now on."

Li Jinhu saw that Chen Ergou was honest and loyal, which was pleasing to the eye, so he immediately made up his mind.

"Tong Xi, Xi ranked fourth, so called Sixi, and Jin Hu gave you a good name."

Li Weiyue also pretended to be a cultured person, and commented, Tong Sixi, humble, not hypocritical, whether she is a bookkeeper or a waitress, this name fits.

Li Jinhu rubbed his toes against the ground, and retreated without a sound. He just needs to say that he likes it. Does it need to be so complicated?

The shopkeeper was very happy for Chen Ergou. This time, he found a kind person. I just hope he won't be returned. The price is "five taels of silver." When Chen Ergou sold himself, Huangji's shop didn't give him any money, so he left without pay, five silver burrows was his meal money for half a year, and he didn't ask for anything more.
