"But why are they all so dirty? That beard hasn't been cut for months, right?”The woman behind Xue Lin said loudly.
" What's wrong with that? You can just wash it. It doesn't need much water…"
"Then why don't you wash them? Besides, I think they're a little old.”
"Not too old, not too old, only twenty years old! Aiya, why don't I charge you less? This way, buy one get one free, there was nothing cheaper than this!”
"Twenty years old? I think he's at least 24 or 25 years old!”The woman then said to Xue Lin respectfully," Miss, we can only have girls in their teens. Besides, they are not pretty. No customers will like them."”
The seller heard her words clearly. Seeing that the deal was about to fall through, she immediately added,"Buy one get two free, get two free, how about it?”
She didn't expect Xue Lin to ask her, How much for one?”
"Miss, you really want to buy it?" The woman and Sun Lian stopped him. The seller immediately shouted," 30 wen silver for one. It's the cheapest one in the world today. Refunds are guaranteed!"”
"I want them all. Let's calculate how much it costs."
Xue Lin's words shocked everyone. The happiest person was the seller. The heavens had mercy on her. The people under her control had been ignored for a whole month! She had been in this business for more than 20 years, but she had never met someone so difficult to sell! She was very happy in her heart, but she pretended to be very calm on the surface and said in a trembling voice,"I can tell at a glance that this young lady is either rich or noble. She will definitely be a person who will achieve great things in the future. Oh, speaking of people, speaking of people, I have a total of nine here, 30 coins each, uh, a total of 130 coins!”
"130 coins? Miss…"
"I'll give in a little more, a little more. 100, how about 100? It couldn't be any cheaper. Aiya, business isn't good…I'm selling at a loss!”
"Prisoners of war?" Xue Lin suddenly said.
This sentence frightened the seller. The Queen had long ordered that private individuals were not allowed to sell prisoners of war. Violators would be fined! "No, no!" she denied flatly. It really wasn't! If you don't believe me, take a look. Their contracts are all with me.”
He took out a stack of contracts and handed it to Xue Lin.
"Yin Yicui, 22 years old, birthplace unknown? What did it mean? Unknown origin?" Xue Lin asked casually.
"My young miss, I'm scared of you. 80 coins, 80 coins, you can take them away immediately. No, no, I'll help you send them to your house. I'll settle all the paperwork for the contract and the notary before personally sending them to you, okay? Sigh, I've been doing business for more than 20 years, and today I've lost the most! Forget it, forget it. Let's do business next time!"
"Deal." She smiled. Isn't it just right to be in your twenties? How can there be no market? He wanted to see how she would train them into the most famous…male prostitutes in Feng Country.
"Take them all down to wash them and change into clean clothes. Pay attention, take care of their hair and beard, understand?”Xue Lin said to Rong Liu, the middle-aged woman who helped her bargain in the slave market. "By the way, Auntie, you did a good job. This string of money is for you. Thank you."
"It is only right to serve the young miss. This servant should thank miss." Liu Rong said.
"Don't thank me. You deserve it. Go quickly." Xue Lin stood up and looked at the new building. It was not bad. It was quite big. It was probably as big as her primary school. Fortunately, this house was originally a brothel. She did not take care of it much when she brought it over. She only did a little work downstairs. The hall could be used for guests to enjoy singing and dancing, and the back could be converted into two large baths.
Eh? Why was there a wailing sound? She followed the voice to the backyard and saw her servants roughly giving the slaves a bath. Instead of saying that he was taking a bath, it was more like washing bacon.
They took something that looked like a steel wire ball and brushed it on the slaves 'bodies. Some of them were already injured, and when they brushed it, their wounds opened up and they were covered in blood. The water was filled with dirt and blood, emitting a stench.
Seeing Xue Lin walking over with an unfriendly expression, the servants respectfully stopped what they were doing and shouted,""Miss."
"You don't have to wash. Change all the water. Tell Aunt to call a doctor over immediately.”She then looked at the slaves." Those who are injured, step forward. We'll treat them later." As for the rest of you, you can take your own baths. After everything is done, gather in the hall. I have to take attendance and then I have something to announce to everyone.”With that, he turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he stopped and said to the injured people," What are you guys still standing there for? Follow me!"
They looked at her with a strange gaze. There was hesitation, dullness, sadness, and determination to face death.
She led them into the wing room, took a clean hot towel, and walked to a bearded man.
"Yin Yicui, right?" She sat down beside him and carefully wiped the wound on his arm. There seemed to be a lot of blood clots. It took her a long time to see that the blood had turned red.
The man did not speak, but his pupils had already changed slightly.
The rest of the people were the same.
"Is the doctor here yet?" As she worked, she asked the servant who had just entered.
"We've arrived, Miss. But…"
"But what?" she asked.
"If the doctor knew that he was treating them, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree.”
"What kind of rule is this? Which doctor wouldn't save people? Quickly invite him in."
"Oh, Miss, you'd better say that they are your servants.”
Her words attracted Xue Lin's attention. "Alright, I got it."
Thanks to her help, the treatment went on very quickly. In a short while, the doctor had finished treating everyone's wounds and instructed them on some things to take note of.
After that, the doctor sighed and said,"Miss Lin, you're so kind. You're so good to your own servants."”
"Compared to you, what I did was not worth mentioning at all.”Xue Lin said.
"No, this is what we should do, what we should do!”Although he said that, he was very happy in his heart.
"I've always admired those doctors who save lives since I was young. I think they're really amazing! It's a pity that I don't have the talent. Otherwise, I would definitely study medicine. Thank you so much. I'll send you out! Right, what should I pay attention to when it comes to diet?”
Everyone's hearts were in turmoil.
Xue Lin stood at the front of the hall and said passionately,""I believe you know what you are going to do. Don't worry, it's definitely a hundred times better than being a slave. I'll help you find customers, and we'll split the profits 20 - 80. I'll take 80% and you'll take 20%. As long as you pay off the debt you owe me, you can leave. Of course, if you still want to work here, we can renew the contract, but at that time, we'll split it 40 - 60. Moreover, our restaurant will become the most famous restaurant in the Feng Nation, and you will become the most valuable men in the country. At that time, forget about finding a good home, you can even choose from the big families in the capital.”
The slaves could not believe their ears. How could there be such a good thing in the world? And you can even get money? They had always worked without getting paid! And he could…leave? Did that mean…they would be free?
"Miss, is what you said true?”Someone in the crowd asked weakly.
"Of course." Xue Lin looked at him with a smile.
"Then, you mean that we can be free after we pay back the money, right?”someone asked. This question echoed everyone's thoughts. Everyone held their breaths and waited for her answer.
"That's right. You don't owe me anything at that time, so of course you can leave. At that time, I will solemnly place your contract in your hands.”
"Miss, this servant also has a question.”Another person in the crowd asked boldly," You said that we can get 20% of the profits, right?”
"Yes, didn't I say it just now?”
The slaves smiled. The atmosphere started to liven up. Someone asked again,""Then when will we be free?”
"You can leave when you have enough money. At most, two or three years, at least one or two months is hard to say, because you may be chosen by some adults or rich families, and they will naturally redeem you. If you have any other questions, just say it." Xue Lin crossed her arms.
"Can you not be a male prostitute?" the tallest and most silent man asked.
It was him. She knew that this person's background was not simple, especially his eyes. They were so sharp and cold, like a sharp sword. It was difficult to not notice them! "Sure. I will never force you. Those who didn't want to do it could do some chores, such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, carrying water, greeting guests, and so on. However, these jobs are hard and tiring, and the pay is not much. I'm afraid it will take a long time to do it until the day you redeem yourself. Are you willing to do it?”
"Yes, I'm willing." Yin Yicui replied.
"Have you thought it through?" Xue Lin asked.
"Yes."
"Alright. The rest of you will begin training from today onwards. Young Master Lian will lead you. He will teach you the four arts, as well as some very special dances. I want to see the results in a month.”
" One month is too short, and they missed that age…" Sun Lian reminded her softly.
"Trust me. They would definitely drive everyone crazy.”Xue Lin said confidently.
