Chapter 237 Drooling
Chapter 237 Drooling
The matchmaker continued to lead An Yue forward.
The matchmaker pointed to another cubicle and said, "This guy is strong and healthy, twenty years old, and is a good farm worker."
An Yue stopped and looked at him carefully. She saw that he had dark skin and was indeed strong and healthy.
An Yue thought to herself: [Generally speaking, this kind of strong and healthy male servant is very popular in the slave industry.]
An Yue asked directly: "Then what are his flaws?"
The matchmaker laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha... but it's true that nothing can be hidden from the girl's sharp eyes. His only shortcoming is that he is a bit honest and simple-minded, and he doesn't speak very clearly."
Seeing An Yue staring at the servant, the matchmaker asked tentatively, "Does the young lady have any favorites?"
"How much silver are these two slaves?" An Yue asked, pointing to the two compartments.
The matchmaker gestured with her hands and said with a smile, "The girl is already a regular customer, just pay twenty-two taels of silver."
An Yue said bluntly: "I'll give you 18 taels at most. If it works, take it away now. If not, forget it."
At this moment, An Yue just felt very tired and had no intention of bargaining with the matchmaker anymore.
"Girl, this...this is really putting me in a difficult position!" The matchmaker spread her hands, very embarrassed.
During these few moments, the matchmaker pondered over the matter in her mind.
An Yue didn't say anything and just stood there for a few moments.
Seeing that the matchmaker was still not willing to lower the price, she prepared to walk out.
Just after taking two steps, the matchmaker stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, deal! I really can't do anything to you!"
After hearing this, An Yue stopped.
The matchmaker swung the handkerchief in her hand and complained bitterly: "You little girl, you are really a smart person! I sold three slaves to you and only earned the money of one slave."
"If my colleagues hear this, they will definitely say I broke the rules!"
"Grandma, rules are dead, but people are alive. If you don't do this business, someone else will naturally do it." An Yue followed the matchmaker towards the counter listlessly.
"That's true, but we're running a business, so how can we not abide by the rules?"
An Yue didn't say anything else, but started counting the silver.
Soon, the silver was delivered, all the handover formalities were completed, and An Yue put away the indenture contract.
Afterwards, several tall and strong men brought the two servants to An Yue.
The matchmaker said to the two male servants, "This girl will be your new master in the future. You should be loyal to your master. Following her is a good choice for you."
"Hello, master!" the two servants shouted in unison, lowering their heads.
"Well, thank you, grandma. I will leave now."
After saying a brief goodbye to the matchmaker, An Yue turned and left the shop, followed closely by two servants.
As soon as they walked out of the dental clinic, Gu Mingchuan appeared from nowhere and followed An Yue.
An Yue turned to ask Gu Mingchuan who was standing beside her: "Mr. Gu, what else can I do for you?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Mingchuan felt a little guilty and pretended to look around as he spoke.
"It's okay, then why are you following me?" An Yue asked impatiently.
Gu Mingchuan said weakly, "The road is wide and we can go our separate ways. We can go whichever way we want."
An Yue frowned, glanced at Gu Mingchuan, and rolled her eyes to express her speechlessness.
The four of them walked on the street, and people passing by gave them strange looks.
A little country girl was followed by three men of varying weights.
In this day and age, it's like looking at something strange.
We walked towards the rest station, preparing to take a mule cart back to Shijing Town.
Walk across the bridge and arrive at the post station.
An Yue found a mule cart and the two servants got on it one by one.
Gu Mingchuan wanted to go up, but An Yue stopped him and said, "Stop, stop, stop, Master Gu, where are you going?"
"Go to Shijing Town."
"Please rent another car yourself."
Gu Mingchuan turned around with a smug look on his face and asked the mule cart driver, "Uncle, may I ask if this mule cart of yours is going to Shijing Town?"
Of course, the driver would like to have one more person on board, after all, he can charge one more person for the fare.
The driver smiled and said, "Yes, little brother."
Gu Mingchuan got on the mule cart with a proud look on his face and sat next to An Yue.
An Yue could only watch him get on the mule cart.
"Everyone, take your seats. We are about to set off."
After the driver finished speaking, he drove the mule cart and started off.
The road was bumpy and the mule cart was running fast.
No one spoke along the way.
An Yue got up early in the morning and after arriving in the county town, she started shouting and promoting her products.
When I arrived at the Zhao residence, I was nervous. After learning the cause of my parents' death, I was even more exhausted physically and mentally.
Not long after sitting on the mule cart, An Yue felt a little sleepy due to the bumpy ride.
She simply closed her eyes and rested, which was a good opportunity for her to think about what to do next after adding more manpower.
Before I knew it, I felt sleepy and my head was shaking with the swaying of the mule cart.
His head tilted left and right, and finally fell on Gu Mingchuan's shoulder.
Gu Mingchuan turned his head and looked down, and saw An Yue fell asleep.
Despite the rugged road, Gu Mingchuan tried hard to keep his balance and sat upright, fearing that he would wake her up.
The sunlight shone through the gap in the roof onto An Yue's face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, like a sleeping elf.
Gu Mingchuan looked at her quietly, with a different emotion welling up in his heart.
After a while, he gently moved his shoulder to allow An Yue to lean more comfortably.
Gu Mingchuan also closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
The mule cart continued to move forward, swaying through the country roads and heading towards Shijing Town.
——Arrived at Shijing Town.
Call...
"We've arrived at Shijing Town." The driver stopped the mule and said.
An Yue suddenly opened her eyes and found herself leaning on Gu Mingchuan's shoulder.
He was frightened and quickly stood up and wiped the corner of his mouth.
You don’t know until you wipe it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
My hands are covered with drool, and I feel disgusted myself.
She hurriedly looked at Gu Mingchuan's clothes, and as expected, her drool flowed down the corners of her mouth and onto Gu Mingchuan's sleeves.
An Yue was so embarrassed at this moment that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. The scene was very awkward for a while.
The cloth shoes on his feet were almost digging out two side rooms.
An Yue scratched her head and said awkwardly: "Um... that... I'm sorry!"
Gu Mingchuan turned his head, frowned, and came up with a plan.
"Miss An Yue, I'm afraid..."
"Um... Mr. Gu, I'm sorry! How about..."
Gu Mingchuan quickly took over the conversation: "Why don't we go to the girl's house and wait for her to wash and dry before changing into them!"
He was worried about this matter! Now, isn't it a good opportunity to do it?
It would be embarrassing to refuse someone if you got their clothes dirty.
