C240 He Had a Good Daughter
After roughly listening to the introduction of the couple, Lin Miaoting's gaze swept across each of their faces.
She could clearly see that these people were looking at her. Some of their eyes were filled with expectation, while others were dull and lifeless. However, there was no one else. Just like the young man standing beside her, his gaze was neither servile nor indifferent.
Since there was no one she admired, she could only look for some people to work with. She would take this opportunity to test out the young man's ability to recognize people that she believed in.
"Help me choose. There's no need for too many people. There are two mismatches, two ruffians, and one who knows how to cook." Lin Miaoting looked at the young man and said lightly.
The young man was stunned at first, but then he reacted and cupped his hands in greeting. "Yes, Young Master."
Then, the young man walked forward and looked at the crowd. After a while, he pointed out two women, two men, and one woman.
"The first in the second row... the sixth in the last row. The five of you have already finished choosing according to your instructions."
The young man politely bowed to Lin Miaoting again and then returned to stand beside Lin Miaoting and his father side by side.
At the same time, the people who were called out by the young man also walked in front of Lin Miaoting with their heads lowered and asked in unison. "little young master, well done."
"Yes, all of you raise your heads. Let me take a look."
Hearing the sound, those people followed Lin Miaoting's orders and gave each and every one of them a rough glance. They nodded at the couple and agreed.
When the young man saw that all the people he chose had gotten Lin Miaoting's approval, he was very happy but also very surprised. However, he did not dare to ask. His expression was still normal and did not seem to have changed at all. However, the faint light that flashed in his eyes due to the joy was clearly seen by Lin Miaoting.
Regarding this, Lin Miaoting only looked at the young man and smiled. Then, she coughed softly and said, "Today, since I have decided to take you guys and follow me in the future, do not have any unnecessary thoughts. If there are any repentants at this moment, I can give you all a chance to give up. However, if you don't give up today, don't blame me for not giving you all a chance in the future. "
When the few people who were chosen saw Lin Miaoting actually open her mouth to speak like this, they couldn't help but feel a little flustered in their hearts.
Could it be that little young master didn't look kind on the surface? That's right, that little young master also had a temper just now. This... were they going to follow this little young master?
Compared to their panic, those who were not chosen were very happy. Because this meant that if any of the people standing in front didn't agree, Some of them had the chance to step forward. Although they were sold as servants, it would be a personal opportunity if they were chosen well. To do the good work of servants, As long as he didn't do anything wrong, he naturally didn't need to worry about the anger of the main family. If it was good, Perhaps the host had given them the deed, and that was freedom.
Especially those few women who had been carefully dressed and had pretty faces. They had become so happy from their earlier disappointment. They were so hungry and thirsty that they wished they could eat Lin Miaoting's eyes. They once again unscrupulously looked at Lin Miaoting.
"little young master, I have decided to follow you."
"Thank you for giving us a chance."
...
Although they were hesitant, the five of them gave a definite answer in the end. Lin Miaoting was very satisfied with this result.
However, when she heard the affirmation of these people standing at the front, the face at the back revealed a bitter expression. In particular, the women who had been secretly giving Lin Miaoting love looked at Lin Miaoting with resentment in their eyes, as if she had done something wrong to them.
"Yes." Hearing their reply, Lin Miaoting acknowledged and then turned to look at the man and woman. "Just these few people."
"Okay. A total of 200 silver taels." The human tooth seller announced the price of these seven people. Then, he took out a stack of body contract from his bosom, took out a few pairs of hands, and handed them over.
Lin Miaoting received the body selling contract and read the names on it one by one. Every time he read a name, one of these seven people would answer. She was quite satisfied with her persistence and nodded. "Then let's make a trip to the county magistrate office and record the contract of selling our bodies in the government office. It will save us some trouble in the future."
"Sure, sure. But this..." At the end of the human tooth seller's sentence, he deliberately extended his voice. Seeing this, Lin Miaoting took out a pouch from her pocket and took out a hundred taels of silver.
"This one hundred taels is a deposit for you. When the county checks and verifies that there is no mistake, I will naturally give the other one hundred taels to you."
"Deal, no problem." The man with the teeth took the banknotes happily and examined them carefully. He led Lin Miaoting and the others and the other seven men to the magistrate office.
After all the formalities were completed, the man took the banknotes and bid farewell to Lin Miaoting and the others at the entrance of the county magistrate office.
"Mistress, what should we do with these people?"
Xu Zhu asked.
"Take them to Jufu Restaurant first. Then, let the two women go to the clothing store to find me."
"Yes."
Lin Miaoting waved her folding fan and leisurely walked on the streets of Luohe Town, enjoying the local scenery along the way. It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the vendors of Luohe Town had also set up their stalls. There were a myriad of products. Although they were not as colorful and colorful as the modern ones, they were all handmade products and were very refined.
"Which family's little young master is from? He looks really good."
“ "Yeah, I wonder if he's married."
"Whether they are married or not is not something we can think about. Look at the fan in his hand. The quality is definitely superior."
"Sigh, I was just thinking about it."
...
Lin Miaoting attracted the attention of all the men and women along the way. However, the gazes of the women were either admiration or admiration. As for the men, they were also naked jealous.
"You! From outside."
When they arrived at the entrance of an alley, Lin Miaoting was stopped by three big men. The thick voice of the leading big man attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians. Those who recognized these three people started to discuss in low voices.
"Isn't this He Laosan and the others? I'm afraid little young master is going to be in trouble."
"That's right..." Another person said with some worry, but the surrounding people did not dare to go forward and persuade him. It was because the three big men who stopped Lin Miaoting were none other than the thugs of Minister Qin's son in Luohe Town. Minister Qin was not scary. What was scary was that he had a good daughter and became their new wife.
