Chapter 230 Buying People
Liu Yu asked the coachman to walk around the street before going to the pawnshop.
When they arrived, Mr. Chen San had just arrived and was waiting at the door of the dental clinic, with the big-bellied dentist beside him.
"Are you pushing things off again?" Liu Yu came down and met up with Mr. Chen Sanye.
Mr. Chen San smiled awkwardly: "Since there are people rushing to do this job, why shouldn't I just enjoy some free time?"
Until recently, Emperor Ren'an personally visited him three times at his cottage and invited him back, and Master Chen San had no choice but to agree and return to the court.
But as long as the royal family assigned him tasks, Zhou Zheng and his people would snatch the tasks assigned to Master Chen Sanye.
Mr. Chen San just didn't want to attract too much attention, so he went with the flow and cooperated with the Zhou faction, letting the Zhou faction do the task that Emperor Ren'an had originally assigned to him.
He enjoyed his leisure time and often came back after court was dismissed, as if attending court was just a formality.
When I came back yesterday, I heard what Mr. Chen San said. He was going to investigate the cause of the animal riot in the mountain two months ago, so he might come back late.
But when she went out this morning, Ping An came back and told her that they were going to the dental clinic in the afternoon and he would go with them.
Liu Yu rolled her eyes: "Third Master, if you continue like this, you will become a sinecure." Will Zhou Zheng let the Chen family go by then? She was a little worried.
"That's great," Mr. Chen San seemed to have really let it go, and said with a carefree look, "This way, I can spend more time with my wife, work harder, and share the pressure from my mother."
What kind of pressure did the old lady give her? Liu Yu only thought that she had been urged to have a child with Mr. Chen Sanye in recent days.
He works hard?
"Uh"
Her face turned red, she ignored him and said to the broker waiting beside her:
"I want to buy two people, men, between the ages of 25 and 35, preferably able to do math and read."
"We are old acquaintances. This request is not low. As for the price..." The broker's eyes lit up.
Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Money is not a problem."
"Madam, that's all you need to say. There's a group of people coming up from the north, so I'll take you there right away."
Soon the broker brought Liu Yu and the others to a room filled with more than thirty people, including men, women, young and old.
The same thing is that they are all very thin, just skin and bones.
"Are they all the people who went north from Heishui? There are so many." Liu Yu looked at Uncle Chen San. This was the news reported by Zhou Zheng after the disaster relief, but the people all returned to Heishui.
"Yes! This is nothing. It is said that there will be more later." Ren Yazi said with concern:
Mr. Chen San: "What do you mean?"
"I also heard that there are many refugees in the Heishui area, and they are still heading to the capital." The trafficker moved closer to Master Chen San and whispered, "Master, you may not know that during the disaster year, many lands there were forcibly bought and sold by officials, and those refugees are unwilling to go back."
"But it's been more than half a year!" Normally, he should have arrived in the capital long ago.
"Someone doesn't want them to go to Beijing."
There is someone, but it’s hard to say who this person is.
Uncle Chen San looked at the human trafficker.
Renyazi realized that he had said too much, and quickly slapped his own mouth, smiling and apologizing: "Look at me, why did I say so much, Master, Madam, please take a good look, do you think there is anyone suitable?"
Liu Yu looked around the people in the room and asked calmly, "Anyone else?"
"Yes, yes." The human trafficker had someone close the door and then had someone open a room next door. There were another thirty or forty people in it. It seemed that the human trafficker was not lying.
After looking at three rooms in succession, Liu Yu picked two people each in the first and third rooms and bought them at a high price of forty taels.
Although the robes they were wearing were in tatters, one could still vaguely tell that they were scholars.
The human trafficker took Liu Yu to the government office and signed the indenture.
After sending the trafficker away, Liu Yu put away the indenture and looked at them.
Mr. Chen San narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood in front of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was stunned and didn't understand what Mr. Chen San was doing, but when she saw his sad eyes, she understood.
At the same time, I felt as speechless as I could be.
She patted his hands, looked at the two scholars she had bought and said:
"From now on, you will be called Changning and Changsui." He quickly instructed Guyu beside him: "Take them to Yuzhen Hall on Panlou North Street and hand them over to Madam Yang. Let her train them before I leave for Jiangnan."
"Yes, come with me!" Guyu led the two to Panlou North Street.
Liu Yu and Mr. Chen Sanye went straight back to the Chen Mansion.
Feng Mo quickly spoke up:
"Madam, it's obvious that those two are not honest. I'll go with Guyu!"
Feng Xiao, who was following behind Master Chen San, raised his eyebrows. How could he not know when this guy became so kind-hearted?
Mr. Chen San frowned and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Liu Yu.
She grabbed his hand and motioned him to be quiet.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Feng Mo was delighted and quickly chased after Guyu.
"Don't ask. I don't know even if you ask." Liu Yu let go of Mr. Chen San's hand and got on the carriage.
Mr. Chen San touched his nose. He was even more reluctant to use this rare time to discuss others. Since people gave it to her, if they didn't want him to ask, then he wouldn't ask.
"Madam, wait for me." Master Chen San chased Liu Yu and got on the carriage.
When they returned to the Chen Mansion, the old lady asked Liu Yu to go to Shou'an Hall for dinner again.
Recently, almost every day, the old lady would send someone to call Liu Yu to eat, even if she had already eaten, she would be invited to have a bowl of soup.
Liu Yu had a headache, but he had to go.
The old lady really treated her well, and she didn't want to let her down.
Even though she hadn't drunk the bowl of black stuff yet, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
Mr. Chen San also knew this.
To be honest, the child told him that it didn’t matter whether he had it or not, but his mother didn’t listen.
"Yu'er, just like before, drink it all for me later!" He felt distressed seeing Liu Yu like this.
But before Liu Yu could respond, a voice sounded behind him:
"Really?"
Master Chen San: “…”
His expression was awkward for a moment, but when he turned around, he returned to his usual indifference, as if he was not embarrassed by being caught just now. He stepped forward to support the old lady:
"Mother, how come you came out to greet me?"
"If I don't come out, you still don't know that all the good things I asked people to prepare have gone into your stomach."
Mr. Chen San smiled and did not defend himself. Instead, he spoke up for her: "Yu'er is still young, there is no rush to have a child."
"I know. I didn't say I'd give birth right away. Those are tonics for women to replenish their qi and blood."
"Grandma, is this true?" Liu Yu was surprised.
For a long time, after each incident, the old lady would have someone send her medicine, and the medicine that could make people pregnant was not contraceptive medicine.
Moreover, every time she came to pay her respects, the old lady would remind her from time to time to have a child.
It’s hard not to think too much!
