Chapter 256 Selecting Servants
Chapter 256 Selecting Servants
After thinking for a while, she decided to tell her grandmother about it.
"Fat Grandpa, please line up nicely. I'm going back to take a nap. Grandma said that if I take a nap well, I can grow up faster. I won't play with you anymore. Bye."
Jiang Fubao waved at the fat old man who was at the first place in the queue.
Like a little rabbit, he hopped back to the backyard.
"This child speaks well and is not shy at the age of three. She is so cute and lovable. Alas, I don't have any kids of the same age at home, otherwise I would really like to let Fubao come to my house to be a child bride. I promise to treat her like my own granddaughter and pamper her. It's a pity, it's a pity that these kids were born at the wrong time."
The fat old man shook his head regretfully.
His youngest grandson is now ten years old.
And Fubao is only three years old.
Even if Fubao doesn't mind that his grandson is old.
He also felt that his grandson was not worthy of Fubao, so he decided to give up.
Your own kid is as fat as a pig, so you’d better not waste his energy on him.
"Grandma, grandma, I'll tell you a secret."
In the backyard, Jiang Fubao pulled grandma's skirt and spoke in a baby voice.
"What's the secret? Fubao, can you tell grandma?" Zhang Jinlan thought her granddaughter was bored and wanted to play with her.
I did as she wished and asked, pretending to be curious.
"Okay, I'll tell you, Grandma. These past few days, every time I sit at the door, I see a man walking back and forth, looking into our shop. In the time I've watched him, he's walked around three times. Grandma, is he a bad guy?"
Jiang Fubao blinked his big innocent eyes.
Her eyelashes were long, like two black feather fans, suddenly falling and then suddenly rising.
"What? There's a bad guy? Tongjin, pay attention to the door today and see what that guy looks like."
Zhang Jinlan did not doubt her granddaughter.
He didn't even let his grandson verify what his granddaughter said.
She directly asked Jiang Tongjin to pay attention outside the shop.
"Okay, grandma, I get it." Jiang Tongjin was holding a tray with three full bowls of mung bean soup and ten skewers of meat on it.
Jiang Fubao, who had completed his mission, lay down on his personal little armchair and took a nap.
Because they needed to buy someone, the shop closed two quarters of an hour earlier.
Today Jiang Siyin was in charge of driving the ox cart. The whole family came to the pawnshop and started selecting servants.
Jiang Fubao picked up the dental clinic's teacup and took a small sip.
In front of her were twelve men.
Each has its own characteristics.
If it weren't for the ancient environment and the teacup in her hand, she would have come back to her senses.
She thought she was in a nightclub, selecting male models.
It’s just that these men have such great bodies.
Either you are strong and have a lot of tendon meat, or you are thin and have thin muscles that don't look weak.
Most people have four to eight abdominal muscles.
There is even a clearly visible mermaid line.
There were only three or two who were pitifully thin.
Jiang Fubao didn't know why these people were shirtless.
"Please introduce yourself to each other. Where are you from? How old are you? Who are your family members? What did you do before?"
Zhang Jinlan was tired after a day's work. She leaned back in her chair and spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice.
"My name is Mangang, I am seventeen years old. I fled from Mobei Province with my family when I was young. Later, some of my family members died of illness, and finally only my brother and I were left. We had no land or house, so we could only rent a house and do odd jobs every day, such as moving food and delivering things, to make a living.
My younger brother is one year younger than me. Before he died, my father said that the family cannot be without descendants. But we couldn't make any money, so I sold myself. The widow who lived across from us was willing to marry my younger brother for only one or two taels of betrothal gifts. I used the money I earned from buying my body to help my younger brother get married. I signed a living contract for a total of fifteen years.
Jiang Fubao was a little shocked when he heard his words.
The tea that had not been swallowed yet flowed down the corners of his mouth.
He actually sold himself to fulfill his father's last words. How filial he is.
Awesome!
"My name is Lai Shun. I am nineteen years old. My family is poor and we are from Yanyun Province. My mother gave birth to eight sons, and I am the youngest. My brothers couldn't afford to marry, so my mother sold me and my seventh brother. I was only five years old when we were sold.
I spent twelve years in Yanyun Province before, and then I came here with my master. Unfortunately, something happened to my previous master's family, so they had to sell us off. I signed a death contract."
Eight sons!!
Jiang Fubao's eyes widened.
She is really fertile.
It seems that having too many sons is not worth much, so the man in front of her has ended up with the same fate as the woman.
Jiang Fubao curled his lips.
Although there were no condoms in ancient times.
But will you die if you do less?
They can’t even afford to raise the children, yet they still give birth and then sell them.
I thought it was giving birth to piglets, so I’ll sell the next one?
Impressed.
"My name is Dameng. I'm from Yingnan Prefecture. I'm 20 years old. When I was eight, my family suffered a drought, so we fled to Ruling Prefecture. I was originally from Kaoshan Village in Baishui Town, but the villagers there were too bullying, so my mother brought me to Lianshan Town. My father died early, and my mother also passed away at the end of the month. I didn't have money to buy a coffin, so I sold myself. It was a death indenture."
Jiang Fubao could see the sadness in his eyes when he spoke.
The men in front of me are all miserable people.
Also.
Who would want to be a slave unless it is absolutely necessary?
"My name is Zhang Cheng, I'm seventeen years old, from Chang'an Town. My parents were both seriously ill, so we sold our land and house to pay for their treatment. After they recovered, our family of three rented land outside the city to farm.
But I met a vicious and cruel landlord who collected 60% of the rent, not including the grain tax. As a result, after working hard for a year, the grain I got was not enough to fill my stomach. There was no point in making a fuss. My parents were so angry that they died. I had no more worries in the world, so I sold myself. From then on, I just wanted to have enough food to eat. "
Jiang Fubao couldn't listen any more.
They are each more miserable than the other.
Wait until all twelve have introduced themselves.
She saw grandma and grandpa discussing in a low voice.
The human trafficker waited by the side with a respectful attitude and did not urge him.
"Let the one called Da Meng and Zhang Cheng stay."
Two people, one has thin muscles and is tanned, and the other is thin but has bronze skin.
They are all about the same height.
About 1.7 meters tall, which is 7.5 feet according to the conversion method of that era.
In fact, Jiang Fubao feels that they can still grow.
It's just that he didn't have enough to eat before. Even with malnutrition, he was able to grow to over 1.7 meters. His genes are already very good.
She could probably guess why grandma and grandpa chose them.
Without him.
But these two are the only orphans among the twelve.
And they are all death contracts.
Only this kind of person can keep a secret.
It can be seen that in order to protect her secret, grandma and grandpa did not select people based on their physical strength.
Instead, he chose the smallest one.
