In a quiet mountain village, a bullock cart suddenly drove up.
By this time, every household had finished dinner and was about to go to bed. Only a few dogs barked occasionally.
The ox cart passed through the quiet village and stopped in front of a small bridge. A couple in their mid-twenties and an eighty-nine-year-old boy picked up the baggage and got out of the cart.
The man paid the fare and asked the driver again: "Is that the right yard after crossing the bridge?"
The driver came from Xiahe Village, a place he often came to. He took the fare with a smile and nodded, "Yes, yes, that is Mr. Qin, the steward."
The coachman was curious and asked one more question: "Are you her relatives?"
The couple shook their heads and had no intention of answering. They thanked the coachman and led their son, who was looking around curiously, toward the small courtyard on the other side of the river.
However, thinking so in their hearts, the four brothers and sisters did not act rashly.
With Qin Yao's nod, Liu Ji raised his hand and called Song Yu's family of three to get up from the ground, "The first rule of our family is that you are not allowed to kneel."
By the way, he introduced it to the family of three: "This is Awang. He is responsible for all matters at home. If you have anything you don't understand, you can go to him first."
Song Yu led his wife and children through the door. As soon as they saw Qin Yao, they knelt down together.
Dinner started a little late today, and the children at home had to do their homework, and the adults had endless work to do. I had just finished dinner and were sitting at the dining table to eat. Except for Awang, all the other six members of the family were moving. No.
Such a dress, in Liujia Village, is more glamorous than the common people in Liujia Village. How can it look like a slave?
Song Yu and Li immediately nodded and responded: "Yes."
After saying that, the three of them kowtowed together.
Qin Yao's house is very lively at the moment.
If the occasion was not inappropriate, Liu Ji would like to ask: Do the nobles today have such high requirements for slaves?
Of course, as a master, he cannot show cowardice.
Unexpectedly, he actually did what he said.
Song Yu and his wife immediately called Awang politely and flatteringly: "Butler Awang."
“General Manager Qin, my slave Song Yu, Mr. Song ordered my slave to come and report. I was delayed for some time on the way, and I just arrived at this time. I hope that General Manager Qin will open the door and let this slave bring his family to plead guilty to you in person!”
Just when he was about to give a shout and go back to their own room to make noise, a strange voice sounded outside the door first.
“I don't know how you are treated in the Song family, but here, you eat what I eat, wear what I wear, and use what I use.”
The three of them are still healthy and strong, which shows that the food was not bad in the past.
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You don't need to test me. I don't have so many rules in the countryside here, and I can't afford to pay attention to these rules."
With that said, he motioned to Awang to continue doing what he said, turned around and strode into the main room.
Qin Yao solemnly added: "What I want is someone who can help me with the work. There is no shortage of slaves to serve others."
“Madam, this is the deed of sale to the Xianu family. You are now the master of the Xianu family. If the master needs anything, Song Yu and his wife Li will do their best to handle it!”
The three of them behaved very intimately, and they looked like a family of three.
After all, the other person called Mr. Qin.
With these two physical contracts, the fate of Song Yu and his wife will be in Qin Yao's hands.
She wants them to live and die, and she can sell them to others at any time. Even if the family of three escapes, they can be recovered with the help of the government's power based on this deed.
The family of six in the main room looked at each other and fell silent instantly. Then Liu Ji and the four siblings looked at Qin Yao who was lazily lying on the chair.
But in total, it is within the promise.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters who were following Qin Yao saw Little Laifu stumbling hard, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and pull him out.
The light in the courtyard was dim. Liu Ji didn't know when he brought the candlestick from the room and immediately raised it up so that Qin Yao could see clearly. These are two deeds of sale, with Qin Yao's name written on them.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and lowered her head to look at the two status deeds handed over by Song Yu.
Song Yu also said: "Madam, the slave came late and disturbed the master, young master and ladies. It was my fault in the first place. Madam, not only did you not blame me, but you also took care of us. I am grateful to you, how dare you?" Please trouble Butler Awang again."
Qin Yao handed the deed of sale to Awang first and motioned for Soong Yu and his family to follow her into the main room.
Li Shi looked over with a provocative attitude.
“Awang, cook three bowls of noodles for Song Yu and the others.” Qin Yao ordered.
Song Yu took out two body deeds from his baggage, raised his hands above his head, and presented them to Qin Yao.
There was no surprise, nor did they ask why, and they were completely obedient, making people feel that they were trustworthy.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters were discussing how Sanlang and Siniang's exquisite new hairstyles would cause a stir in the school today. Liu Jigang had learned new knowledge all day long. When he heard this, his mind felt restless and dizzy.
The door opened, revealing a young couple with a little boy about the same age as Erlang.
This couple, two living people, has become her private property.
“It happens that Li is a good cook, let her prepare it. The white flour is fine and too expensive. All you need is three bowls of multigrain porridge.”
Qin Yao stood up and called Awang to open the door first.
This is the first time in Liu Ji's life that he has seen such a contract of sale. His eyes flickered back and forth between the paper and Soong Yu's family of three. It was novel and incredible at the same time.
Because they are slaves, the lowest class in the prosperous country.
When Qin Yao left the county government yesterday, she told Song Zhang not to forget what he had promised. She was in a hurry and only heard from a distance that Song Zhang would make arrangements on the day of the announcement.
Although the sky is completely dark now, tomorrow will be in two hours.
Song Yu's family of three are neatly and neatly dressed. Their clothes are all made of cotton and don't have a single patch.
If Song Yu hadn't revealed his identity himself, who would have known that he was a slave?
And if you listen to this motto, you are actually quite knowledgeable.
“Dong dong” There were two knocks on the door, and a manly voice said loudly:
Li said: "Madam, I'd better go by myself, and follow Butler Awang to get familiar with the kitchen at home."
After following A Niang for a long time, under Qin Yao's words and deeds, the four brothers and sisters have learned to think twice before acting.
But she didn't see anyone coming from morning to night today. She thought Song Zhang was delayed by business and had no time to make arrangements.
But not including me, the eldest man. Liu Ji's heart was filled with tears.
“My slave Song Yu, his wife Li Shi, and their son Xiao Laifu, come to see my wife, master, three young masters and young ladies!”
Liu Ji pulled out a Taishi chair for her. Qin Yao sat down, and he took a seat in the other one.
Although the couple sat in the same position, Song Yu and Mr. Li could tell at a glance who was the master of the family.
Qin Yao winked at Dalang, and the four brothers and sisters, who had been waiting politely, started to move and enthusiastically came forward to greet Xiao Laifu. They were all children of the same age, and the five of them quickly started playing together.
