"Yes! This place is so beautiful, even more beautiful than our original home." Xie Shisi said excitedly while looking around.
The beautiful woman smiled gently, showed them around, and after they were familiar with the environment, she let them choose a yard.
"Xiaojiu, you can live in the same courtyard with Yutang!" The beautiful woman said to Fengjiu.
Fengjiu nodded in agreement.
Xie Yutang just glanced at Fengjiu after hearing this, but he didn't object. He just said, "Mother, although our house is big, we still need to buy servants. When are we going to buy some servants?"
"Let's talk about it after we settle down. We are all tired today, so take a rest first!" She said softly, asking them to go back to their respective courtyards, and then she walked towards the main courtyard.
About half an hour later, the old man and Xie Yan came back. The old man also chose a courtyard to stay in, while the middle-aged man went to the main courtyard. After resting for a while, Xie Yan called them all together and said to them: "I'll take you out to eat today! When you come back, go to the slave market to buy some servants."
"Is Grandpa going?" Xie Shisi asked.
"Your grandfather wants to rest. He said not to disturb him. We can just bring him some food when we come back." Xie Yan said, and then took them out in the carriage.
After eating in the restaurant, Xie Yan took them to the slave market. He smiled and said to his two children, "Today, I will give you the job of selecting the slaves to test your eyesight."
"That's not difficult."
Xie Yutang raised his chin slightly and walked forward, looking at the cages of slaves one by one. After a long time, he frowned and walked back: "Father, these people are all cultivated! And the ones in the cages look very ferocious. I don't know where they got them from."
"Those in the cages are those with higher cultivation levels. They are usually chosen as guards. However, our family has enough guards, so there is no need for more. As for servants, we have to find these managers and ask them to bring some out for us to choose." He said, pointing to a manager inside.
The beautiful woman had a smile on her face and didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
Xie Yutang stepped forward and told the steward that he wanted to buy some servants. He then saw the steward recruit fifty men and women to come out, most of whom were between thirteen and fourteen years old.
Fengjiu took a look and saw that these people only had a small level of cultivation. They were all wearing tattered clothes and standing there with their heads lowered.
"All of you raise your heads." Xie Yutang shouted, and then looked at his sister beside him: "Sister, you choose first."
"Ah? I choose first?" Xie Shisi was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at her mother. Although her mother had taught her how to choose someone, she had never chosen one herself!
"Go ahead! Try it. If it doesn't work, mother will help you change it." The beautiful woman said, encouraging her to go forward.
So, Xie Shisi walked forward and looked at the ten people in the first row one by one. Finally, she picked out two cute twins from the first row: "Mom, I want these two. They are twins and look exactly the same. Let them stay by my side and serve me in the future!" She looked back at her mother with a smile.
