Qin Linyang's child ran over: "Mother?"

The Wei brothers also looked here: "Auntie?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Xiao Lei, Xiao Yun, you play, auntie talk to the little brother."

Wei Zhanlei said crisply: "Okay."

Yang Haiyan likes to go to the office when she buys a person, it is more secure, and the origin of the child is relatively clear. Even if there is a problem with the child's origin in the future, there will be an official tooth against it. Speaking of which, it is a matter of the court, and it has nothing to do with her.

Yaba came in with ten boys. Although the boys' clothes were covered with patches, they were clean. The officials in the capital are naturally more particular than the officials in the county, because if the minions want to buy the mansion of the noble family, they must be cleaned up. Guan Ya's money is all going to the court.

Granny Ya gave Yang Haiyan a salute with a smile on her face: "I have seen the madam and the young master." Naturally, she also saw the little boy beside Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan nodded: "You don't need to be polite, Ya, tell me the origins of these teenagers."

Ya Po: "Yes. There are ten boys here. The first boy is twelve years old this year. The last master's family is an official family. We can't redeem our official teeth and sell them again."

Speaking of which, this law of Qiguo is more human. Of course, there is another one above this law, that is, if the master commits a crime, if the servants reach the age of service, they will be sent to serve in the army. There is no need for money, and it is directly a good citizen. However, the service is also hard, and you are fighting for your life. Among the maids, those who are as tall as the original body, that is, those who have reached the age of fifteen, will be assigned by the court to soldiers in the army, but if they are not qualified, they will also be unable to redeem themselves, and they will be sold again.

To put it bluntly, the court sells well, the reputation belongs to the court, and the money earned is also from the court. But for the common people, is it not a way out?

Therefore, the first emperor of Qiguo was kind and wise, otherwise how could there be such a law? Maybe the emperor who came out of the war is different.

Granny Ya continued: "This kid was a family child when he was the last master, and he also learned a few words from the master of the official family."

The first boy gave Yang Haiyan a salute: "Hello madam, I have seen my madam, and I have seen the young master." The servants who came out of the official's house were different. Just now I heard that the lady called Yang Haiyan her madam when she saluted Yang Haiyan. Then I knew that this lady had a noble status, because Qi Guo was only called a lady if she was of the second rank or above.

Yang Haiyan nodded. In fact, when she saw these boys, she knew that they were having children. Otherwise, how would a normal family want to sell their sons? And still dead? All she asked her to look for were dead boys. "What else do you know besides recognizing words?"

The No. 1 boy thought for a while: "The minions are faster, this...is this an advantage?"

Yang Haiyan was a little curious: "Foot speed is faster? It's the first time I heard that running is faster?"

Boy No. 1 said: "Yes, the minions are born to run faster, so they were selected and went to the young master to run errands for the young master."

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay, Ya, you can continue to introduce the other boys."

Hearing this, boy number 1 was a little nervous in his heart, and the expression on his face also revealed. I don't know what this guy means. Did you choose him? He stood, holding his clothes with his hands on either side. However, his standing posture is better than other boys, after all, he came from the official's family and has learned the rules. In fact, Yang Haiyan likes people who have learned the rules. Compared with ordinary people, they write more about what they know.

Granny Ya continued: "Ma'am, this is the second boy. He is also thirteen years old this year. He is also literate. In fact, this boy is literate." Because when the host came to buy the boy, he said that he must be literate. The official teeth in the capital are the largest in the country, so it is not difficult to pick out the literate characters. However, literate boys usually have some background, "The former owner of this second boy was a merchant, and this boy worked in a shop. The owner lost a lot of money and made a lot of money, so in order to pay back the money , not only sold the property, but also some of the servants, this kid is one of them."

The second boy also saluted Yang Haiyan: "Hello madam, hello young master." His smile was a little flattering, and he was a little humble and shrewd when bending over. Because it came out of the shop, this kind of fawning is habitually pleasing to the guests. However, this kind of flattery is not annoying, and it can also be understood as the extra enthusiasm of the waiter for the customer.

Yang Haiyan said: "What about you, but what advantages do you have?"

The second boy smiled and said, "The boy knows how to settle accounts." His accounting and literacy were learned from the shopkeeper in the shop, secretly, because this is the shopkeeper's ability to eat, and he was unwilling to teach others. But he also wanted to learn more, so he learned it secretly. On weekdays, when the shopkeeper settles accounts, he will watch it. Although the shopkeeper will not take the initiative to teach people, he does not shy away from him. He also knows that he is learning secretly, but he does not care. After all, the second in the shop is not bad. of.

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay, you can wait on the side, Ya, continue to introduce."

Granny Ya went on to introduce: "This boy number three is twelve years old this year. He was born as a young master from an official family. He committed a crime in his family, and Fan was exiled. All the young masters and young ladies like him were sold."

The third boy said: "I have seen the madam, I have seen the young master."

His salute is the most disciplined and standard, with no expression on his face, a stubbornness in his eyes, but no dissatisfaction or hatred. Although he was born as a young master of an official family, the female family members of the family cannot be called madams, which means that he is not as tall as the madam in front of him, so it is appropriate for him to salute her. His family used to be a small official, but it was also an official family, so some rules and honors were engraved into the bones. For people with noble status, they were very condescending and would not show off.

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised. She looked at the boy in front of her and asked, "From master to slave, do you have resentment in your heart?"

The third boy was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the lady to ask such a question. He frankly said, "There is no resentment."

Now Yang Haiyan is curious: "Why is there no resentment? When I was a young master, I enjoyed wealth and honor, and now I am a servant, don't you feel inferior and sad? Don't you feel angry and unfair in this comparison?"

Boy No. 3 doesn't know why the lady asked this question, but he also has his own thoughts: "I don't think it's unfair. If it's unfair, there are many people who suffer more than the boy. Besides, I have not been able to do it for more than ten years. I enjoyed the wealthy life brought by my father, and now he has done something wrong, and I should bear the punishment brought by him." Therefore, he did not blame his family.

This is the first time Yang Haiyan has seen such a transparent person, let alone a twelve-year-old child, even if he is older, he may not think so quickly. But what this child said is very reasonable. Some things are caused by cause and effect. If you are implicated in the cause, you must bear the effect. Don't say anything you want or not, it's just an excuse.

Yang Haiyan smiled: "Ya, go ahead."

Granny Ya continued: "This boy number 4 is ten years old this year, and he is also from the family of a criminal. The criminal was demoted to a commoner and his family wealth was confiscated, so he sold most of the servants in the family. A ten-year-old boy like this can't be Those who work hard will naturally not stay."

Guan Ya has one advantage. The origins of the servants are clearly recorded. Of course, Yang Haiyan does not know whether these origins are 100% correct, but at least there is no problem on the surface. If there is a problem, it is none of his business.

"And these boy number five, boy number six, and boy number seven, like boy number four, come from the same family of criminals, and they are all about the same age. They all served the young master of that family before."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said, "Four of them belong to the same household, but the main household is from the capital? Did an official in the capital commit such a thing?"

Yava said: "The offender is not from the capital, but a county under the jurisdiction of the capital, right next door. The offender is the county magistrate there, and he committed the crime of embezzlement." Although it is a crime of embezzlement, it is only because , did not hurt others, so they confiscated the family property and did not kill the official.

These things on the surface, you will know as soon as you inquire. In fact, many of the servants who came out of the sinful officials' families were sent to other places to sell. Because they sold in the same city, some families were unwilling to buy them.

But the filtering laws all agree with this sale, that is, they bought the servants of the sinners, and no one else would say anything, and some people just didn’t want to buy it.

Yang Haiyan asked, "Apart from literacy, do you four have any other advantages? Or whatever you are good at will do."

The four people shook their heads, they thought it was the young master's personal torn, playing with him, so where did they come from?

Seeing this, Granny Ya said: "Next is the eighth boy. This boy is nine years old this year. There was a famine in his hometown. His parents went and sold it with his brother and sister-in-law on the way to escape."

Yang Haiyan said, "Isn't it forbidden by national law to sell relatives as a pawn?"

The eighth boy took the initiative to say: "Mrs. Hui, I do it voluntarily. My parents have passed away, I am still young, and my brother and sister-in-law can't even support their own children, let alone me, so I agree to put myself I sold it. I bought the death deed because there was a lot of money in the deed."

Yang Haiyan was surprised that she could still sell herself? Some are similar to Uncle Hong's experience, but this child also has some courage and courage. "You sold yourself to the death deed, and you became slaves from two people. You can only be slaves for the rest of your life. Would you like to?"
