This made the boss very excited. He kept rubbing his hands and said excitedly: "My master has a spirit in heaven. He must be deeply comforted. I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Jiang and my first name is Huai. My master has always been there before entering the palace."
It’s an old slave serving..."
He started talking nonchalantly.
He had already said these words once in his previous life when he appeared in front of Ye Yibai, and his ears would get calloused if he heard them again.
"Stop it, my mother-in-law mentioned you to me." Ye Yibai interrupted.
"Really? That old slave is really lucky." Jiang Huai said with great emotion.
Although he is nearly fifty years old, he still has an air of elegance about him. He is usually majestic and dignified when facing the people below him, but this time he looked like he was meeting a young boy who likes girls. He looked dumbfounded.
appearance.
The people in front of him were the old friends of Concubine Ye Yi Bai. After the incident happened later, these people hid in the darkness and paid attention to him all the time.
The reason why he was able to quickly accumulate power in his previous life had a lot to do with these people.
Ye Yibai originally planned to find an opportunity to come over and meet him, but Hua Yanxi just gave him an opportunity.
"A few days ago, people from the gambling house sent news that I couldn't believe what happened about you and your wife. I didn't expect that you actually married a wife. Your wife is virtuous, kind, beautiful, smart, and she is a perfect match for you.
"Jiang Huai praised.
"A virtuous and virtuous person who shows off her appearance and is smart at heart? You really know how to tell lies with your eyes open. How could you have heard of her if she was really like this?" Ye Yibai sneered.
That woman, with these eight words, can't be compared with anything.
Jiang Huai bowed and said, "Madam punishes those ruffians like this because of you. It's understandable."
Ye Yibai said "Hmm": "How did you hear about the gambling house? Let me hear it."
Jiang Huai didn't know that Ye Yibai had no memory of what happened before Chisi, so he just thought it was a normal inquiry, so he told the news in detail.
Ye Yibai murmured in a low voice: "Then she really did it for me."
He actually dared to cause a scene in a gambling house by himself, just because of a mentally retarded person.
Then why did she rather commit suicide than live because she wanted to marry him in her previous life?
While Ye Yi was struggling to explain, Hua Yanxi had already walked over, picked up the water on the table and took a sip naturally.
Ye Yibai raised his eyebrows, that glass of water was the one he had just used.
Hua Yanxi didn't know whether she didn't know or didn't care. After finishing the drink, she said to Jiang Huai: "Boss, I want these people. You can calculate the total money."
"No need for money, no need for money, whatever money you need, my store can..." Jiang Huai waved his hands quickly, and said that this store belongs to you and the young master, how can you ask for money for your own things?
After saying that, I just felt a sharp pain in my instep.
"Huh? No money?" Hua Yanxi frowned, expressing that she didn't understand what the boss meant.
It looked like he was giving it away for free, but there was no friendship between them.
Jiang Huai reacted from the pain. His feelings were that the master had not yet confessed to the lady in front of him.
So he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "What I mean is that we don't accept cash here, it's too cumbersome. We only accept cash checks."
Hua Yanxi smiled: "Of course it's a banknote. You look at us as if we can hold a large amount of money."
Jiang Huai smiled coquettishly: "Wait a moment, I'll do the math for you. Seeing that you buy so much at once, I'll give you a 20% discount."
Not long after the two returned to the private room, Jiang Huai appeared again and brought over the deeds of sale of these people and the marked prices of each person.
"Madam, you have chosen a total of twenty-four people, five hundred taels per person for the counting house, and three hundred taels per person for the nursing home. After discount, the total is seven thousand three hundred taels. You can just pay a total of seven thousand taels of silver." Jiang
Huai said with a smile.
Hua Yanxi didn't say much. She was about to pay for it, but Ye Yibai quit: "Why is it so expensive? This isn't a shady store."
Jiang Huai looked at Ye Yibai with a slightly aggrieved expression.
Young Master, what are you doing?
At first I gave it to you for free, but you thought it was expensive when I said you had to pay money.
What do you want to do? You should give me some instructions.
Not only him, but also Hua Yanxi felt that Ye Yibai's reaction was a little too excited.
He reminded him in a low voice: "Xiao Bai, my boss has already given a discount, so the price is reasonable. Let's..."
Ye Yibai stretched out his palm and said, "Five thousand taels, if that doesn't work, let's find another one!"
"Deal!" Jiang Huai said quickly.
It was Hua Yanxi's turn to be dumbfounded. She blankly took out her banknotes and counted five of them.
The boss said that he would personally clean up these people and send them to his house.
After the two came out, Hua Yanxi looked at Ye Yibai excitedly: "Xiao Bai, I didn't expect you to have such ability. The price is amazing. I saved two thousand taels in one fell swoop."
The monthly salary of an ordinary servant in the mansion is now twenty taels, and he has saved several months of wages in the entire Fifth Prince's mansion.
Ye Yibai raised his eyebrows with a proud expression.
"When I get back, I will personally cook a table of delicious food for you." Hua Yanxi said in a particularly generous manner.
"OK."
The two of them walked out as they were talking, and when they happened to pass by an overpass, they saw a mother and daughter selling themselves.
The clothes are in tatters and the look is haggard.
There is a sign next to it that says sell your body to bury your father (husband).
Behind the two of them was a worn-out straw mat, with a person lying inside.
Pedestrians passing by took a quick look and then walked away in a panic, holding their noses.
When the mother and daughter saw Hua Yanxi, they paused and looked around, and said quickly: "Madam, please take pity on us and buy us. We are very diligent, cutting grass and feeding pigs, herding horses, planting fields and grinding beans.
We can do anything.”
Hua Yanxi was amused: "Do you think I have that kind of work for you to do?"
However, these two people still seemed to be honest. The few servants in the house were doing too much, so it wouldn't matter if they were replaced.
Hua Yanxi's words made the two of them look embarrassed, but they could only keep repeating: "We can do anything."
"Two people, fifty taels?" Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows.
This is a bargain sale.
"Yes, we just want to buy a thin coffin to send my man back to his hometown for burial, and give our mother and daughter a bowl of food to eat." The woman said sincerely.
Hua Yanxi learned that they came from other places to seek refuge with relatives. Unfortunately, the relatives were not found and the man died of illness instead.
Hua Yanxi took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to her: "Take it back and bury your man, then come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion."
Hua Yanxi's mentality is very peaceful. If these two people come back, she will hire them. If they take the money and go away and never come back, then she will treat them as doing good deeds.
After all, given the current situation of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid no one is willing to come.
Hua Yanxi took Ye Yibai and left after thanking them profusely.
