Su Wan waved her hand and then replied, " As long as his character is good. I am not against it, it's just that I need them to be good at their job and understand their duty, other than that there is nothing else that I will demand from them."
She was not concerned about the housekeeper, rather it was the page boy that caused her to worry a little. A page boy was responsible for closely following after his master who was studying to become a scholar, if the page boy was not good and trustworthy then he might cause a lot of trouble for his master as well as the family of his master.
It wasn't that Su Wan did not want to buy a page boy earlier but she had always hesitated as she was worried that someone would use that page boy to harm Lin Rui thus she had stopped herself again and again. But she could no longer hesitate.
In two weeks, Lin Rui had to head over to the capital for a junior scholar exam, if she did not choose a page boy for him then her husband would have to suffer a lot in the capital!
Their house also needed a housekeeper such that he would be able to manage the farm when she was busy. With so many tasks in her hands, there was indeed a shortage of people in the house.
Yi Ran was really happy when she heard Su Wan's words. She enthusiastically nodded and then said, " If this is the case then I have just the right candidates. If you don't mind, then I can bring them here and you can have a look, county magistrate Su."
" Is that so? What kind of candidates do you have?" Lin Jing questioned upon hearing the words of a slave trader. It sounded a bit too good of a deal if the slave trader had two candidates prepared beforehand.
Yi Ran also knew that it was a bit suspicious which was why she did not feel offended instead she calmly explained, " The master of the house was exiled after he was found guilty of creating fraud accounts and taking money from the imperial family. The slaves of that house were all sold one by one but unfortunately for the housekeeper, he married the maid from the same household.
" If not, with their filial piety, benevolence, wits and righteousness, they would have been sold a long time ago."
Shen Junxi turned to look at Su Wan, he wanted to say that it was alright to feed an extra mouth but he did not want to interfere with Su Wan's decision and did not say anything. It was only when Su Wan nodded did his eyes lit up and he turned to look at Yi Ran before saying, " You can bring them, we will take a look. If they are really that good then we will purchase them."
Yi Ran cheered up when she heard Shen Junxi's words, it looked like she would finally be able to sell that family!
She hurried out of the house and then brought the family about whom she was talking about. Discover stories at mvl
Su Wan looked at the family of five and was stunned when she saw the old man. When Yi Ran told her that they were taking care of an old man, she thought that Yi Ran was talking about a sixty-year-old man but the one in front of her was clearly in his eighties and he looked rather sick.
What was more with the continuous malnourishment they looked even weaker than they were.
" Is he sick?" She asked upon noticing the flushed cheeks of the old man, his eyes were half closed and anyone could see that he was almost on the verge of fainting.
No sooner did she finish speaking there was a loud thump that startled her and Lin Jing.
