Chapter 2603: Selecting People

Yes! This place is so beautiful, its even nicer than our own home. Xie s.h.i.+si also said excitedly as she looked around.

The beautiful woman smiled gently and brought them to look around. Once they had familiarised themselves with their environment, she let them choose their courtyard.

Little Jiu, you can share a courtyard with Yutang! The beautiful woman said and looked at Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu nodded in agreement.

Xie Yutang glanced at Feng Jiu when he heard this, but he didnt object. He just said: Mother, although our house is big, we still need to buy servants. When are we going to buy servants?

We will talk about it after weve settled in. We are all tired today, lets take a rest first! She said softly, then asked them to return to their courtyards, while she herself walked to the main courtyard.

After about half an hour, the old man and Xie Yan also returned. The old man 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: Ill take you out to eat today! Later on, we will go to the slave market and buy some slaves back.

Is Grandfather going? Xie s.h.i.+si asked.

Your Grandfather wants to rest. He told us not to disturb him and just bring him something to eat when we come back. Xie Yan said, then went out and led them into the carriage.

After they had eaten in the restaurant, Xie Yan took them to the slave market. He smiled and said to the pair of children: Today, the task of picking servants will be up to you, Ill be testing your judgement.

Thats not difficult at all.

Xie Yutang raised his chin slightly and walked forward. He looked at the cages where the slaves were being kept. After a long time, he frowned and walked back: Father, all these people have cultivation! The ones locked in the cages look so cruel, I wonder where they got them from?

The ones in the cages have higher cultivation bases, they are usually selected to be guards. But we have enough guards, we dont need anymore. As for servants, we need to find one of the stewards here so that he can pick some out for us to choose. He said, and pointed to one of the stewards inside.

The beautiful woman had a smile on her face, but she just watched quietly.

Xie Yutang stepped forward and told the steward that he wanted to buy some servants. The steward then brought out fifty men and women with the help of other people. Those people were between the ages of thirteen or fourteen to twenty years old.

Feng Jiu glanced at them and saw that those people only had low cultivation bases. They stood there with their heads lowered in tattered clothes.

All of you raise your heads. Xie Yutang shouted. Next, he looked at his sister beside him and said: Younger Sister, you pick first.

Ah? I pick first? Xie s.h.i.+si was stunned for a moment, then she looked back at her mother. Although her mother had taught her how to select people in the past, she had never done it herself!

Go! Give it a try, if you really cant, Mother will help you. The beautiful woman said, and encouraged her to go forward.

So, Xie s.h.i.+si stepped forward and looked at the ten people in the first row. Finally, she picked two cute looking twins: Mother, I want these two. They are twins and look exactly alike. Let them serve me by my side in the future! She looked back at her mother with a smile.

The two twin girls couldnt help but look at the beautiful woman. They heard it earlier, the Mistress had the final say.
