Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 283 Hanging Cloth

Jiang Shangxian moved closer to Xiao Cui, their arms pressed together. Feeling the muscles on Xiao Cui's arms, she felt more at ease. "Why does this place feel so weird?"

"The blue cloth indicates that the people inside are mainly selling slaves, and the yellow cloth indicates that they are maids and old women. Everyone is inside, you can choose after you go in." Cui Bianxu's face, which had just recovered, turned red again when he realized that the two of them were so close that they were only separated by a few layers of thin clothes.

Jiang Shangxian nodded in sudden realization: "Then let's just go and hang the yellow cloth, right?"

"kindness."

In fact, with Cui Bianxu's identity, he could also ask the human trafficker to bring people to the house to choose, but it is not convenient for the Cui family now, and the Jiang family's place is small, so if they come here directly, the two of them can also be alone together.

There are more and more people in the Jiang family. Every time he is called down from the roof, he feels a little ridiculous.

The two of them randomly picked a house with a yellow cloth hanging on it and walked over. The person who had been sitting lazily immediately stood up, clapped his hands on his body a few times, and then shouted towards the door. Then he took off the linen cloth draped over his shoulders and shook it vigorously on his hands twice. He took small steps and greeted them enthusiastically, with a smile on his face that seemed to have been practiced a hundred times: "My lord, my lady, please come in!"

The set of movements were smooth and flowing as if engraved in their bones, so skillful that it was astonishing. Xiao Jiang, who had never seen much of the world, suddenly felt that the service industry of the Tang Dynasty, apart from anything else, was really good at providing smiling service!

Worth learning from!

In fact, she was really overthinking it. At the very least, the family that bought the slaves had some spare money. Otherwise, who would add another mouth to the family for no reason?

Those who greeted guests at the door were the best at judging dishes by appearances. They had seen many dignitaries from different classes, so their judgment was naturally impeccable. As soon as they saw Cui Bianxu, they knew that he was a man from a wealthy family.

He could roughly tell that someone was from a wealthy family just by smelling the scent on her body, which was why he was particularly attentive.

"I wonder what kind of maidservant the two distinguished guests would like today?" As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept over Jiang Shangxian, feeling a little sorry that he had brought his wife with him...

Then you can’t bring the ones who are too beautiful to the front.

The more beautiful it is, the more valuable it is, the higher the price it can command, and the higher his commission will be.

"Pick out some clean and capable maids and old women to take a look at first." When choosing people, you have to look carefully and can't send back those with bad intentions.

"Yes, you two, please sit here for a while. I'll go and make arrangements." He led them to a stone table in the courtyard and sat them down. After he left, a young woman about the same age as Jiang Shangxian came over with drinks. "Enjoy your meal, my dear guests."

Unfortunately, neither of them touched the drink. Cui Bianxu noticed that her spirit, which had been relaxed since she took advantage of him, seemed to tense up again. He couldn't help but say something to comfort her, "I just checked, and several of them have yellow cloth hangings. If this one doesn't suit your taste, you can try another one. These people will have to follow you for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to be careful."

Jiang Shangxian barely managed to nod. "Buying people! This is buying people!" She hadn't even been a team leader in her previous life, and now she was going to buy people and directly step into the human resources management industry. Being mentally prepared was one thing, but actually buying people was another.

She had no choice but to constantly mentally prepare herself: I will definitely make a lot of money to feed and clothe them...

Fortunately, the houses here are not big. After a while, there were subtle and chaotic footsteps. The broker seemed a little dissatisfied with the noise they made. He stopped outside and intimidated them with his eyes before putting on a smile and bringing them in.

"You two, bring everyone here. I've chosen people who are clean and efficient."

Jiang Shangxian looked up and found that the person who had just welcomed them in was gone. Instead, a broker was standing at the front. Dozens of women of different ages stood in several rows behind him with their heads lowered. She hypocritically felt that the scene was a bit sad.

"Call the maid out first." Cui Bianxu said, looking at Jiang Shangxian: "If there are any good ones, it's okay to pick more."

"Yeah." Jiang Shangxian frowned and nodded solemnly. The money she earned could not support someone with evil intentions and who was disloyal.

"You guys, stand up front." The broker called out to a dozen young ladies and said, "Take a look at them first. That's all for today. If you don't like them, there will be new ones the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Shangxian bit his lower lip, took a deep breath, and began to look at the person in front of him seriously, treating himself as a boss interviewing an employee. The 996 workers were actually no different from them.

There were a dozen young ladies, the youngest looked no more than four or five years old, and the oldest was about the same age as her. It seemed that the age stratification in this industry was quite extreme, with both ends being hot.

Her eyes swept over them one by one. The youngest one was skinny, with a sallow face. Her eyes looked particularly big. She hunched her shoulders and her skinny hands were fiddling nervously in front of her body.

Jiang Shangxian's heart softened. This is still a baby. It's fine when you can't see it, but when you see it, it's a bit...

"I want her." She leaned close to Cui Bianxu's ear and whispered, "Can you help me take a look?"

Being soft-hearted is one thing, but she also doesn't want to help cause any problems. She sees that the little kid's eyes are still very clear, but to be on the safe side, she decided to let Cui Bianxu take a look, as he is more adept at this.

Cui Bianxu looked in the direction she pointed and couldn't help but frown: "Is this..."

Too small? Usually, cats of this age are bought to accompany younger children at home. When Xiao Cui, who is very smart, thought of this, his mind suddenly opened up.

His originally furrowed brows gradually smoothed out, his heartbeat quickened, and he glanced guiltily at the brothel owner. Finally, with a blush on his face, he said to Jiang Shangxian, "You're quite thoughtful. I think she's a good choice. I'll take her."

My future wife has already considered having children and has even prepared people, so it seems we should hurry up with the wedding.

Jiang Shangxian felt that she had a good grasp of men's thoughts, but she was a little confused by the inexplicable blushing in front of her.

No, why are you blushing about human trafficking?

The broker hadn't expected that the girl who was just brought in to make up the numbers would be the first one chosen. He immediately pulled her aside and introduced her to the two men, "She was sold because her family was too poor to raise her. She's originally from Leizhou, and she's exactly six years old. She's only been here two days. But don't worry, little girls of this age are the easiest to train. Go back and learn the rules, and I guarantee she'll be more useful than the older ones."
