The tooth lady saw that Bai Lian was young, but her calm and calm look made her look different from other little girls.
She has been doing this business for too long, and she knows her words and colors, and some big ladies in some people will come and choose who they can use.
Although Bailian is not as good as some landlord ladies in the town, but this attitude is much better than other ladies.
"Well, well, please go here." The tooth lady smiled with folds.
Recently, it has not been peaceful, and the earth dragon has turned over and added heavy snow that has not been seen in decades, and it has been much harder for some poor families.
Although the emperor ordered tax reductions and exemptions, it was still much more difficult than the days of the previous year.
As a result, many people have a lot of children in their families, especially girls, and those who are unwelcome will be sent over. With a few ounces of silver, they can live a better life at home.
She has collected a lot of people, but recently there have been fewer people buying people. So when she saw Bailian coming to buy people, even though she was a little girl, the toothy lady gave a warm reception.
"Come, come, everyone come out for the nobles to see!" The toothy lady yelled at several rooms, feeling that they were coming out slowly, and she went to pat the door.
Bai Lian vaguely saw some scenes from the crack in the door.
A group of people squeezed into a room, and a long row of wooden boards was used as a bed. There were some cracks in the house and there were many air leaks. This was left by the earth dragon turning over last time.
The surrounding houses have been rebuilt, but these large common houses have not been renovated, but simply filled some big cracks with thatch.
A group of people came out of the house one after another with the voice of the toothy lady. They were wearing a little thin, and they shivered with cold as soon as they walked out.
This group of people is obviously used to it, and they stand consciously as soon as they come out, row by row.
"Look, which one do you want?" The tooth woman pointed to a group of people, as if hawking some animals.
Bai Lian felt a little uncomfortable. They were all living people, but they were used for business.
But now that she is here, she can't be too maverick, and she does need someone who is very loyal to her.
There were about a hundred people standing in the entire yard. There were too many women, but there were not many women with good looks. When I thought about it, I knew that those with good looks had long been bought by others.
Women are very bitter in this era.
Bai Lian looked up and saw that among the more than one hundred people, although some of them were wearing thin clothes and were pinched by others, their spirits seemed very good, without the numb and muddy eyes.
In the end, Bai Lian's eyes fell on a middle-aged man. This man looked very stable. Even though he was wearing thin clothes, he didn't shrink his head like other people. He seemed to be practicing family.
Although there are patches on the clothes, they are not messy at all, and their hair is not greasy. This kind of white lotus has a positive impression of him.
"Who is he?" Bai Lian asked.
"He was a business boss, but later his family committed a crime and was demoted to slavery. He has been here for a while." The tooth lady hurriedly explained to Bai Lian.
In the ancient times, for small things, one person would go to jail, but for big things, the whole family would not be able to escape.
So people in a family like this have committed crimes, and the whole family has been reduced to slavery.
Being demoted to slaves, some are already considered light.
Some will be linked to the nine races.
"Are you willing to go with me?" Bai Lian walked over and looked straight at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was taken aback, and it was the first time he saw such a calm girl.
Girls of this age generally only know to hide at home embroidering, and avoid people at a distance.
But he saw firmness and majesty in the eyes of this little girl.
He didn't know why, obviously this little girl was so thin, but he always felt that this girl had the bearing of a superior.
"Good!" The middle-aged man nodded.
He was already a slave, and that was the case, he went everywhere, and he always felt that the little girl in front of him was not easy, and it was always right to follow her.
"His name is Wang Bei. He is a business owner. His brothers are officials and have offended the people above, so the whole family is demoted to slaves. According to the rules, the master can give him a new name and stay together. When the government is registered, this person will officially become your servant." The tooth lady said with a smile.
The middle-aged man heard a flash of sorrow in his eyes when he heard the toothwoman say about his life experience, and then he was relieved.
According to the news he has tried so hard to get, his family is only being demoted to a slave, and he is already the one who is kind.
"Then from today, your name is Guo Bei!" Bai Lian thought for a while, and suddenly thought of this person's new name.
Back pot man!
This name is quite appropriate!
"Yes!"
Guo Bei bowed deeply with a respectful expression.
"Do you have any other family members?" Bai Lian asked.
Since the whole family has been sold, it is still okay to be a good friend by yourself. Buying one is also buying, and buying two is also buying.
"My wife died of illness at an early age, and she had no children under her knees. My parents couldn't bear the shocking changes, and both died." Guo Bei's voice was sad.
Now his only relative is the younger brother who caused the ruined family.
He was sold too, but he didn't want to find him or see him.
What can you say when you see it?
Said you caused the tragic death of your parents?
Or would he cry and cry, or let him see himself and sink into deep self-blame?
It's better to miss it.
Knowing that two people are alive in this world, that's all right.
Bai Lian sighed and didn't ask anything more.
"He is an adult man, a strong laborer, ten taels of silver!" The tooth lady said with a smile.
"Good!" Bai Lian took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the tooth woman.
The toothy woman weighed it up in her hand, and then immediately said to a servant in the yard, "Go and work for the young lady. This person is renamed Guo Bei. From today onwards, he will be the young lady's person!"
"Yes!" Xiao Si drew one from the bundle of sales deeds, and then went in the direction of Yamen.
Although they are business people, they are all legal in this world, and these slaves who have a bond of selling are useless even if they kill the master and burn the bond of selling.
Because there are records in the yamen, and the arrest of rebellious slaves is a dead end.
The small servant is very efficient, and there are people in the yamen who specialize in registering slaves, so in only half an hour, Bai Lian obtained Guo Bei's deed.
The deed was written clearly, what Guo Bei's original name was, his physical characteristics, and his original birthplace were all written on it.
After the procedures were completed, Bai Lian took Guo Bei out. The first thing Bai Lian did was to take Guo Bei to a clothing store and bought Guo Bei a cotton coat.
In the past two months, for the first time feeling warmth, Guo Bei's face softly touched the padded jacket.
Although he didn't say anything, he had already made up his mind to follow the master.
The two went out of the clothing store, Bai Lian took out a hundred taels of silver bills directly from the space, covered them with a sleeve, and then handed them to Guo Bei.
"This is a hundred taels of silver. You can buy a small yard and live there first, and then buy some food to settle down. I will wait for you at this hour the day after tomorrow."
The one hundred taels of silver was the last time Luo Gonghua helped Luo Gonghua, and he was paid for the fall.
"This..." Guo Bei was a little unbelievable. He was so trusting in him just after he was bought back?
"Hold it!" Bai Lian shook her hand.
"Yes!" Guo Bei has seen a lot of worlds, and he doesn't refuse. Anyway, he has already identified this master in his heart!
Follow the master well in the future.
