Chapter 314： set off

The latest website: Zhulan thinks it's pretty good. There are two little ones in the house. The girl follows Xuehan, and the little boy follows Mingyun. Of course, they only follow first. Whether they will continue to follow in the future depends on the understanding of the two children. .

Zhulan asked Yazi, "How much silver?"

Zhulan knew in her heart that some of the slaves had relatives and friends, and when something went wrong, someone ran away. Those left behind were either without relatives or cut off contact with relatives. This is even better, and it can avoid a lot of trouble.

Ya Zi looked happy, "Madam, these are all servants from the official family. Although they are a little older, the price can't be cheap. This family is 80 taels."

Zhulan pursed her lips and didn't say a word, her teeth felt uncomfortable, "Seventy-five taels is the lowest."

Zhulan really didn't know the price. She waited until her teeth were bitten to death before saying, "Their slave contract needs you to be exchanged. I won't give you any money."

Yazi paused and said, "Okay, please come here."

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren followed Yazi. Officials are in charge here. You don't need to go to the yamen to go through the formalities. There is a special place to go through the formalities.

Zhulan's family also has servants. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't take anyone home, they took them to the hospital first, and asked the doctor to take a look. Fortunately, the old lady was malnourished and couldn't rest well, not a disease.

Zhulan went to buy some gray and dark fabrics and returned home with her.

Back home, Zhulan arranged for the family to stay in the vacant room in the front yard. The servants who were sold by the officials had nothing but clothes on. Zhulan found the old quilt and some old wooden barrels. Let the boss send it over.

There is firewood in the front yard, and there is also a kitchen in the front yard. He boils water for washing himself, and has cloth and needles. Zhulan is not in a hurry to meet people, and waits for the family to clean up.

Don't mention Li's excitement, "Mother, do we really have slaves in our family?"

Zhulan, "En."

Li's heart is beautiful, "Mother, will I be the eldest wife in the future?"

Zhulan, "...you are the eldest wife, what about me?"

Li Shi looked like she knew what she was asking, "Mother is naturally an old lady."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She knew it was this title, and it was obvious that she kept it looking old, yes, since she bought it back, her family's name will naturally change. In order to distinguish it, she really had to add an old character. Li's head hurts!

Seeing her mother-in-law close her eyes, Mrs. Li didn't understand what she had said wrong, "Mother."

Zhulan closed her eyes and pointed at the door, "Go out."

Li shut up, and her mother-in-law was in a little mood again. She found that her mother-in-law would have small emotions from time to time. At this time, it was right to shut up and be obedient.

At noon, Zhulan asked Li to bring some pancakes and vegetables to the front yard.

By the time Zhulan got up for lunch, the family that I bought was already standing in the backyard. The whole family put on new clothes and cleaned themselves up.

Zhulan sat on the chair moved by the boss, raised her eyebrows and looked at the newly made clothes. It took two and a half hours, five hours since she brought people back, and listening to the boss, this family It has been standing for almost half an hour.

In other words, within two hours, four hours, except for the time to boil water for a bath, you can still make clothes that fit your body.

Although Zhulan didn't pay attention to the front yard, she knew that everyone in the family had a clear division of labor!

Zhulan said, "Who is good at female celebrity?"

The older old lady stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, I'm good at stalking women. Later, when I got old, I went to Zhuangzi to be a mother-in-law."

Zhulan snorted and continued: "You all talk about what you were responsible for in the past?"

The old man stepped forward and said, "I used to keep horses, and I was the gatekeeper in the village when I got old."

The son continued: "I drive the car for the master's house."

Daughter-in-law, "I first washed vegetables in the kitchen, and then I learned needlework and did needlework."

Two older boys, the older one was a 19-year-old boy who kept a horse, and the younger 17-year-old was an errand boy.

There are two little dolls left. The little girl has been learning the rules at the age of ten, and is going to be a third-class girl. The boy is also learning the rules, and there is no arrangement yet.

When Zhulan heard this, no one in this family was at the center of power. This family was not a particularly smart person, but they did their duty.

What the Zhou family needs now is someone who is responsible.

Zhulan asked, "What's your name?"

The old man stepped forward, "The villain's surname is Ma, and his name was given by the original owner, Ma Qiang."

The old lady stepped forward, "I'm Ma Wei Shi."

The two husbands and wives, the man's name is Ma Eryue, and the woman is a girl who sold herself as a child. She didn't have a surname and a name was taken from the original owner's family, Xinghua.

Several children did not say their names.

Old Man Ma stepped forward and said, "Please also ask your wife to name the child."

Zhulan was silent, she only accepted the Ma family after she took her name. This is very important to the Ma family. Seeing the expectation of the Ma family's children, Zhulan scolded the ancient times in her heart, so she still gave it to the Ma family. name.

The surname has not changed, and Zhulan doesn't know any name. She is not a talented girl either. She is chosen according to the twenty-four solar terms. Boy is the equinox.

Then Zhulan arranged for a few people.

Based on the abilities of these people, Zhu Lan said, "We are going to the capital to take the exam. This time we will bring Er Yue, Xing Hua, Li Chun and Jing Zhe, and Ma Qiang and Ma Wei will stay with Rain and Spring Equinox."

Mrs. Dong pressed the corners of her upturned mouth. Although her mother-in-law kept the old lady, she was at least a servant. She finally didn't have to work by herself.

The Ma family accepted the arrangement of the master family well, although the new master family is not an official, but the new master family is a family, and they are about to go to Beijing to take the exam.

If the new master's family became a jinshi, their family would still be an official slave, which is much better than being bought by a businessman.

The Ma family's duty is not stupid. The new master family has not made a fortune. They are the first batch of slaves. As long as they perform well, they will definitely be reused.

For dinner, the Ma family made their own meals in the front yard, and Ma Wei's cooked meals.

In Zhulan's house, Mrs. Li cooks, and Mrs. Xinghua comes to wash the dishes by hand. Mrs. Dong and Xuehan don't have to do it anymore.

The Ma family got used to it for two days, and the day for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren to set off came. This time, they hired five carriages, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren rode in one. Zhou Shuren didn’t want Xuehan to be a light bulbXuemeihe Li took Yulu and Jingzhe to a car.

Boss Zhou took Ming Teng in one car, the other two cars were loaded with quilts and other luggage, and the other was loaded with food and other food.

Ma Eryue and Xinghua take care of one, and Lichun takes care of one.

Wu Ming only hired one carriage, and he didn't bring much luggage, but Zhao Bo hired more carriages.

The Zhao family has a house in the capital. This time Zhao Bo did not go there by himself. Zhao Bo took six servants to the capital and had a lot of luggage. Zhao Bo himself hired four carriages.

On the contrary, Wu Ming could use servants, and Wu Ming only bought a servant to follow.

There are two other teams going to the capital. This time, there are not many people in the convoy going to the capital. There are no trucks that are dragging them down, and the speed is very fast.

This time I went to Beijing in no particular rush. I had enough time to travel during the day, so I would stop and rest early in the evening.
