Chapter 179
Since the opening of Ruyi Building, it has gained a firm foothold in Qianfeng Town, and its reputation has even spread to Xin County.

Some gourmets, even hundreds of miles away, endured the bumps all the way to Qianfeng Town, in order to have a delicious meal.

Ruyi Building's business has been steadily fading for a few days, and it has become increasingly busy again.

The staff in front and back of the restaurant are so tired that they can't stand upright every day, but for some reason, they can always come to work the next day full of energy.

On this day, Liu Qingcao brought Qi Sanshan, Xie Liuyan and Jiang Xiaobai to the Yahang in Qianfeng Town.

"Little Fifth Brother, are you busy?"

Seeing Zhou Xiaowu dozed off in a chair, Liu Qingcao stepped forward to wake him up softly.

"Well, Miss Qingcao, are you here?"

Seeing someone coming to the door, Zhou Xiaowu rubbed his eyes, and stood up excitedly when he saw who was coming.

"Miss Qingcao, I'll help you find what you need this time." Zhou Xiaowu said sincerely.

"Little Fifth Brother, I plan to buy three servants, two men and one woman, who can read and write, and it is best to have some fists on their bodies."

Liu Qingcao spoke out her request so that Zhou Xiaowu could find someone for her.

Zhou Xiaowu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly walked towards the back yard.

Liu Qingcao led the three of them, and after a while, Zhou Xiaowu came out from the backyard.

"Miss Qingcao, the people have already been separated." Zhou Xiaowu looked at the three people behind her, and guessed that this slave should be bought for them.

Liu Qingcao nodded, "Please, Brother Wu, let's go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingcao walked towards the backyard. She has been to this place many times, and she knows the rules.

When a few people came to the backyard, they saw fifteen or sixteen people in a mess, standing neatly in two rows, men and women were separated, with shackles on their feet.

Xie Liuyan and Qi Sanshan had been beggars, and they didn't react much when they saw this. On the contrary, Jiang Xiaobai, who didn't like to go out of the village too often, had an ugly expression on his face, which seemed to be sympathetic, but at the same time sad.

"Xiaobai, what are you thinking?" Seeing that he lacked interest, Liu Qingcao asked softly.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his head, looked at Liu Qingcao, and shook his head silently.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liu Qingcao stopped asking, but she knew what was going on in her heart.

Xie Liuyan turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiaobai worriedly. She wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

"Girl Qingcao, these are selected according to your requirements, please see if there is anything you want." Zhou Xiaowu said.

Liu Qingcao nodded and walked closer.

These people were men and women, of different ages. When they saw her coming, they all raised their heads, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

At a glance, Liu Qingcao only took a rough look, mainly because of this group of people, and for some reason, they were messier than Lin Qiu and the others, so they couldn't see clearly, only the pair of black and white eyes could be seen clearly. son.

"Little fifth brother, you are a child, don't you come here by robbery, why are you getting more and more dirty?"

Liu Qingcao looked at the group of people in front of her with a funny face, and said jokingly, pulling her lips.

"Miss Qingcao, this is not a captive. It is from the capital. The journey is long and the time is long. It will definitely not be clean."

Zhou Xiaowu explained that it was indeed from the capital. For some reason, suddenly there were many servants who were sold off.

It rained for several days on this road, and the dust and rain were stained all the way. When I arrived here, it looked like this.

It is impossible to take captivity, after all, all the people they travel need to be stamped by the government before they can trade.

"Then I'll take another look."

Liu Qingcao walked towards the group of dirty and smelly people, holding her breath, her eyes looked back and forth at them.

After a quarter of an hour, Liu Qingcao picked out six people from the inside.

"It's them."

Liu Qingcao frowned, took a long breath, and said to Zhou Xiaowu, lifting her lips.

Zhou Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, called for his mother-in-law to take those six people down for a clean-up, took the rest back, and then came to Liu Qingcao.

"Miss Qingcao, you are already a regular customer. These six people charge you 35 taels of silver, so you can't bargain anymore."

Zhou Xiaowu's eager words made Liu Qingcao feel like he was being exploited by herself.

She did not counter-offer, because this price is already a good deal.

"Little Fifth Brother, are there any scholars here, sir?"

Liu Qingcao asked uncertainly, lacking confidence, after all, she felt a little unrealistic when this matter was brought up.

Zhou Xiaowu shook his head quickly, "Students are mostly self-proclaimed, even if they are too poor to live on, if they come to our bank to sell themselves, they still need a temporary body deed from the yamen, they won't be in the bank, they have to go to his house to find .”

Liu Qingcao understands it, that is, the people above do not allow scholars to degenerate and humiliate themselves, but some people do have difficulties, so it is no wonder people, for the sake of the scholars' face, there is such a rule.

Since there was no one she wanted here, Liu Qingcao didn't stay any longer, but asked Zhou Xiaowu to keep an eye out for her, and keep someone suitable for her.

After the people who were waiting to buy came out, she glanced briefly, and then led the six people who had been tidied up, out of the shop.

Four men and two women, all about seventeen or eighteen years old, only one is slightly older, 21 or [-] years old.

Liu Qingcao took people to the town's house, once inside the house, Liu Qingcao ordered the six people to boil water, wash themselves thoroughly and tidy up.

The six obeyed obediently, and did not have other thoughts because Liu Qingcao was young.

"Mr. Liu, they are so pitiful."

Xie Liuyan lowered her eyebrows and spoke in a weak voice, Qi Sanshan raised her eyelids and looked at Xie Liuyan with a calm expression.

After Jiang Xiaobai came out from the inside, his mood was always depressed. Seeing what Xie Liuyan said, he opened his mouth and hid the words in his heart.

Liu Qingcao noticed his actions, and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, your father told you, save yourself first, and then save others."

Jiang Xiaobai pursed his lips and nodded.

"Then what do you think?" Seeing that he was silent, Liu Qingcao asked again.

"I..." Jiang Xiaobai dodged his eyes, not daring to express his thoughts.

Liu Qingcao didn't force him anymore, and smiled at the three of them.

"Do what you can, and you can do things for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he quietly watched the reactions of the three of them.

"Mr. Liu, I understand." Xie Liuyan opened her eyes first and spoke first.

Qi Sanshan nodded in agreement, but remained aloof.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the three of them, and replayed what Liu Qingcao said in his mind for a long time.

"I see, Mr. Liu." Jiang Xiaobai suddenly understood, and finally had a relaxed smile on his face.

It was he who got into a dead end.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Liu Qingcao took the opportunity to tell them the truth of life before the six of them came out.

In a nutshell, I just hope that they can look at everything that happened with an emotional stability during the free clinic, and make the most correct choice for them.

After half an hour, Liu Qingcao stopped talking and let them think for themselves.

"master."

Liu Qingcao looked up and saw a man with loose wet hair standing in front of her respectfully.

On his fair face, there are thick eyebrows carved with swords, big black eyes with deep tiredness, and under the bridge of his high nose, there is a thin lip with a color as pale as water, making him appear a little indifferent.

"..."

It's just the dirty clothes on him, it's too disobedient, like an official son's ugly disguise in front of others...

"There are clean clothes in the side room, take the five of you and change them together."

Liu Qingcao said to the man in front of her in a calm voice.

The man was taken aback, looking at his dirty and tattered clothes, the tips of his ears were covered with red beige.

"Go."

"Yes, master."
