"Master, please wait a moment. I'll go and choose now!!”When the tooth man heard this, he was immediately amused. Other than the men who worked hard, the price of the little girl was far more expensive than the boy. As for what they bought, no one cared at all.
Fortunately, Li Chen wasn't buying a servant girl. He only wanted to buy a few little girls, so the price wouldn't be too ridiculous. If he wanted to buy a proper servant girl, the price would be terrifying.
Zhenguan was considered a relatively rich and powerful era in ancient times, but these slaves who were sold as goods were all sallow and thin. Their clothes were ragged, and their bodies emitted a strange smell.
Some people still had some clarity, but many people had empty eyes, as if they were walking corpses led by a string. To them, life had no tomorrow and no hope.
"Old Master, she's here. Please take a look.”Soon, the tooth man selected a group of girls between the ages of five and ten. They stood in a row and waited for Li Chen to choose.
These little girls looked at Li Chen with evasive gazes. They were afraid and could not help but want to lower their heads, but they did not dare to. They were afraid of being beaten up by the Fangs, and some of their bodies were even trembling slightly. Trembling.
These little girls had come to the hands of the Fangs for various reasons and were sold as goods. Some of them had been made slaves because their ancestors had committed a serious crime, while others had come here for other reasons.
"Sigh ~~~"
Looking at these little girls who were barely clothed, emaciated, and smelly, Li Chen wanted to but was powerless. He could not buy everyone back. At the moment, he could not support such a large expenditure.
"This, this, and that, bring them all out.”
Li Chen quickly picked five little girls. Two of them were around ten years old, and three were around five or six years old.
"Alright! Old Master, please wait a moment. Listen well. In the future, you will be this old master's people. If you don't listen, you will suffer. Do you hear me?”
The tooth man fawned over Li Chen, but he was fierce towards these children. The most ridiculous thing was that the other party's greatest backer was the imperial court!!!
After signing, signing, and paying, the little girls became Li Chen's people. They were like frightened chicks, obediently following behind Li Chen, not daring to breathe loudly.
After buying a batch of clothes, food, meat, and vegetables, Li Chen brought them home.
"What are your names?"
The five little girls stood in the courtyard. Li Chen sat on a chair and asked.
The oldest one stood out and answered with some fear,"Old Master, this servant is called San Ya. If I work hard, I might be able to do it. I don't eat much, but I still know."
San Ya was very anxious, but Li Chen waved his hand to signal her to stop.
"From now on, you'll be called Li Ya.”
What made Li Chen almost faint was that the names of these children were more and more strange. Some names like San Ya, some names like Xiaonu, and some names like Little Zai were all here. The characteristics of the names given by the ancients made Li Chen very hurt.
"Li Ya, Li Xi, Li Meng, Li Ling, Li Bing, from today onwards, these will be your names.”
"Li Ya, Li Xi, the two of you are older. You have to take good care of Li Meng, Li Ling, and Li Bing.”
"Thank you for the name, Old Master. This servant has nothing to repay you for.”The five of them knelt on the ground in unison and cried. Who would have thought that Li Chen would give them a surname and a name when he bought them? Moreover, it had the same surname as the Tian family.
"Get up. Li Ya, Li Xi, bring the others to boil water and wash up. These are your clothes, and there are things to wash up over there.”
Some things couldn't be changed overnight. For example, Li Ya and the others would kneel down at any time. Li Chen didn't correct them, at least not in the short term. If he were to bring out some of the education systems of the future, it would definitely scare these five children.
He had to wait for them to calm down and assimilate.
Li Chen also planned to treat these five children as the first batch of people he would educate. Moreover, the girls were more obedient.
There wasn't much hard work at home. Farming? That was impossible, impossible in this lifetime!
Looking at the five sallow and emaciated little girls wolfing down their food, Li Chen sighed. If this was in the 21st century, their age would be the time to play. However, in the Tang Dynasty, they became slaves for people to buy and sell. Their uses were different.

"Oh no!"
When Qin Huaiyu arrived at the Cheng Manor with the instant noodles and water he had bought, he immediately saw Cheng Yaojin, who was about to leave. He instinctively wanted to hide, but just as this thought formed, he heard the voice of the old demon Cheng Yaojin." Stop right there. Come back here or I'll break your legs!"!”
Breaking your legs was also Cheng Yaojin's mantra. Of course, he would do that when he was scared. At least his son and Qin Huaiyu had been beaten up a lot. Qin Huaiyu did not dare to wait for Cheng Yaojin to be punished. Otherwise, he would be beaten up again when he returned.
"Uncle! This is what I bought today. Haven't you always been thinking about the instant noodles and water? My nephew ran into Li Chen on the street today, so I followed him to his house and bought everything back.”
Qin Huaiyu went all out and took out all the instant noodles and water.
"Is that true?"
